1 10 2 --> 01 02 10

Postby Missoula » Thu Mar 12, 2026 11:41 pm

Newbie here using BRU v3.2.0.1

I need to rename

1
10
2

to

01
02
10

I've been at it an hour and I can'r quite figure out how to pad. I see it but I just can't get it to do anything.

Thanks, but I don't have that option. Under Name 2, I have

Keep
Pemove
Fixed
Reverse

Under Numbering 10, I see Pad but I can't figure out how ro make it work.

Update to the current BRU, 4.1.0.1, & then you will ;-).


---


2:Name
Code: Select all
Pad Numbers


or as a workaround (that kind of works)

10:Numbering
Code: Select all
Mode: Prefix
Start: 0
Incr.: 0
Pad: 1


You would have to exclude '10' from your selection lest you end up with '010'.

-- Update to the current BRU

I can't.

Is this the final answer, that my current version won't do it?

I should add that I have hundreds of directories, each with 50 to 300 files, named as above. I was just trying to simplify the request. So it's not just deleteing 10, it would be relocating all 2 and 3 digit files, renaming 1-9, putting back just the 10-99 files, adding another zero, and putting back the 3 digit numbers. This is exactly what I did with Lupas about three times before the tedium caused me come here for help. I still have several hundred, possibly 1,000 plus, directories to go. It would take me many days even if I didn't stop to eat or sleep.

I can see that BRU is vastly more powerful than Lupas so I hope to find a solution here.
