Renaming from a text file

Postby RandmTask » Sun Aug 19, 2007 6:54 pm

Gday,

hope someone can help

Ive got a group of files and i want to rename them by appending the end of their filename with a list from a text file.

Basically, I have TV episodes that are in sequential order and i want to add the episode name to each

ie Scrubs S03E01 - .avi would become Scrubs S03E01 - My American Girl.avi

where 'My American Girl' has come from the first line of the text file. Its quite time consuming doing them each individually!

Ive read something about pipe deliminating or something, and if this is the only way to do it how would i go about inserting the filenames and the pipe symbol into the text file to put back into BRU?

cheers

Hi,

Renaming from a text file is straightforward, there's an example in the help file (I think). You just need to specify the old and new names, eg.

OldFileName.abc|NewFileName.abc
OldFileName2.abc|NewFileName2.abc
OldFileName3.abc|NewFileName3.abc
