Sort Order fail

[kandjar]

Hi all,

I need to rename a list a files and keeping the good numerical sorting order. Is there any way of preserving the numerical sorting order?

I tried the /SORTBY option with no result.

I hope someone can help me on this problem.

Thks

My files are :

Code: Select all

1.jpg
2.jpg
3.jpg
4.jpg
5.jpg
6.jpg
8.jpg
7.jpg
9.jpg
10.jpg
11.jpg
12.jpg
13.jpg
14.jpg
15.jpg
16.jpg
17.jpg
18.jpg
19.jpg
21.jpg
20.jpg

I use the command :

Code: Select all

BRC64.exe /DIR:"X:\MyFiles" /REMOVENAME /AUTONUMBER:1:1:S::10:3 /EXECUTE

The result is :

Code: Select all

Filename 1.jpg renamed to 001.jpg
Filename 10.jpg renamed to 002.jpg
Filename 11.jpg renamed to 003.jpg
Filename 12.jpg renamed to 004.jpg
Filename 13.jpg renamed to 005.jpg
Filename 14.jpg renamed to 006.jpg
Filename 15.jpg renamed to 007.jpg
Filename 16.jpg renamed to 008.jpg
Filename 17.jpg renamed to 009.jpg
Filename 18.jpg renamed to 010.jpg
Filename 19.jpg renamed to 011.jpg
Filename 2.jpg renamed to 012.jpg
Filename 20.jpg renamed to 013.jpg
Filename 3.jpg renamed to 014.jpg
Filename 4.jpg renamed to 015.jpg
Filename 5.jpg renamed to 016.jpg
Filename 6.jpg renamed to 017.jpg
Filename 7.jpg renamed to 018.jpg
Filename 8.jpg renamed to 019.jpg
Filename 9.jpg renamed to 020.jpg

Okay, I've got a solution.

Use rename twice, first rename only the 5-character file name with the /MAXLEN:5 option and then wihout the option again.

Code: Select all

BRC64.exe /DIR:"X:\MyFiles" /MAXLEN:5 /REMOVENAME /AUTONUMBER:1:1:S::10:3 /EXECUTE
BRC64.exe /DIR:"X:\MyFiles" /REMOVENAME /AUTONUMBER:1:1:S::10:3 /EXECUTE

The result :

Code: Select all

Processing Folder X:\MyFiles\
Filename 1.jpg renamed to 001.jpg
Filename 2.jpg renamed to 002.jpg
Filename 3.jpg renamed to 003.jpg
Filename 4.jpg renamed to 004.jpg
Filename 5.jpg renamed to 005.jpg
Filename 6.jpg renamed to 006.jpg
Filename 7.jpg renamed to 007.jpg
Filename 8.jpg renamed to 008.jpg
Filename 9.jpg renamed to 009.jpg
