Renaming files in a loop

Hello all,
I need help!
Using the File [] files = filePath.listFiles(new FilenameFilter()
public boolean accept(File fileName, String name)
return name.toLowerCase().endsWith(filter);
I have tried to rename the files in a given folder by adding integers to their ending.
for(int i = 0; i < files.length; i++)
int dot = files.getName().lastIndexOf('.');
String newFileName = files[i].getName().substring(0, dot) + i + files[i].getName().substring(dot);
if (files[i].renameTo(new File(newFileName)))
System.out.println("Renamed");
It does work. Can someone help
Thanks

It does work. Can someone helph? That's probably not what you wanted to type.
What does not work? Does it compile? Does it throw an exception? Does it run but not rename anything? Please elaborate.
And please surround your code with the [ code] [ /code] tags (without the spaces). Otherwise it wll become unreadable.

How to open renamed files?

Hi
I rename selected files and after that want to open them.
For my purpose renaming works well like this:
tell application "Finder"
set FilesToRENAME to selection
display dialog "Change what?" default answer ""
set ChangeFROM to text returned of the result
display dialog "Change to?" default answer ""
set ChangeTO to text returned of the result
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {ChangeFROM}
set theCount to count of FilesToRENAME
repeat with x from 1 to theCount
try
set theName to name of item x of FilesToRENAME
set FirstNamePart to first text item of theName
set LastNamePart to second text item of theName
set newName to FirstNamePart & ChangeTO & LastNamePart
set name of item x of FilesToRENAME to newName
on error errStr number theNumber
activate
display dialog "Error in changing the Name " & theNumber & return & errStr ¬
& return & "Step " & x
end try
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
end tell
Now newly renamed files don't belong anymore to FilesToRENAME. So how to point to those files now (how to make a new list from those renamed files)? I was thinking to get a path to each file inside the repeat loop and replace the name, but couldn't do it.
Thank you for any help.

Pierre's method is pretty clever, but if you don't happen to be using a Finder selection (choose file for example), you can also use the interesting fact that an alias keeps track of an item even if it is moved or renamed.
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #DAFFB6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
-- tell application "Finder" to set filesToRename to selection as alias list
set filesToRename to (choose file with multiple selections allowed)
set changeFrom to text returned of (display dialog "Change what?" default answer "")
set changeTo to text returned of (display dialog "Change to?" default answer "")
set renamedFiles to {} -- this will be the renamed files
repeat with aFile in filesToRename
set aFile to the contents of aFile
tell application "Finder" to set theName to name of aFile
try
set tempTID to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {changeFrom}
set firstNamePart to first text item of theName
set lastNamePart to second text item of theName
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to tempTID
set newName to firstNamePart & changeTo & lastNamePart
tell application "Finder"
set name of aFile to newName -- aFile points to the original file
update aFile -- give Finder a chance to catch up
set the end of renamedFiles to aFile -- aFile now points to the renamed file
end tell
on error errStr number theNumber
activate me
display alert "Error " & theNumber & " in changing the Name" message errStr
end try
end repeat
renamedFiles --> aliases to the renamed files

FM to rename   files in ABAP

Hi..I am pretty new to the world of ABAP.
I have the following task.
I need to right a function module that will be responsible for renaming files on the R/3 system (to a certain predefined format). Basically, I am thinking that FM will import/accept an old file name (incl path) as a parameter, and then FM will take care of actually renaming the file and returning the name of the new filename.
Since I am very new to all the ABAP, can any of you give me some pointers, or maybe some sample code if anybody done something similar?
All the help is appreciated.
thank you

Are you talking about files on the application server. If so, you will need to copy them into the new name and delete the old one. Here is a sample program.
report zrich_0001.
parameters: d1 type localfile default '/usr/sap/TST/SYS/Data1.txt',
            d2 type localfile default '/usr/sap/TST/SYS/Data2.txt'.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
      rec(20) type c,
      end of itab.
data: wa(20) type c.
start-of-selection.
* open and read file 1 into an internal table
open dataset d1 for input in text mode.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    do.
      read dataset d1 into wa.
      if sy-subrc <> 0.
        exit.
      endif.
      itab-rec = wa.
      append itab.
    enddo.
endif.
close dataset d1.
* Open file 2 and copy the contents to this file
open dataset d2 for output in text mode.
loop at itab.
    transfer itab to d2.
endloop.
close dataset d2.
* Delete file 1
delete dataset d1.

Batch rename files on the server?

Can someone explain how to batch rename files on the server ?
I have 1000 rows each containing these fields
id (unique key)
productCode
filename1
filename2
For every row I need to rename the following fields:
Rename [filename1] to [productCode]_[id]_1
Rename [filename2] to [productCode]_[id]_2
also I need to rename the actual file on the server using the above scheme
Can someone show me the way ? I'm a little rusty with ColdFusion

So far I've got everything working apart from CFFILE which works only if it finds a corresponding jpeg file on the server. In other words it works perfectly until row 20 of the database because the filename contained in the field doesn't have a matching jpeg file on the server, so CFFILE fails like this...
Attribute validation error for tag CFFILE.
The value of the attribute source, which is currently C:\images\DSCN1293.JPG, is invalid.
The error occurred in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\link\htdocs\old_apps\psp\updater.cfm: line 63
61 :                    action = "rename"
62 :                    source = #my_source1#
63 :                    destination = #my_destination1#>
is there a way to carry on looping through the remaining rows and ignore the above fail ?

Rename files using text or excel file

I am trying to find out how to rename files on my pc using the names stored in a text document
eg. the file on the pc is called "C07_08.dat"
the text file has the following line "3am Eternal KLF 03:15 121 BMG C07.08"
i want to change the name of the file "C07_08.dat" to "3am Eternal.mpeg"
What I would like is a batch file or program or something that will see the text "C07.08" and find the corresponding file "C07_08.dat" and rename it "3am Eternal.mpeg"
I have managed to create a excel document that has the information in four separate columns
Column A has the name of the file I want to use (ie. 3am Eternal) Column B & C have unneeded information and Column D has the file reference (ie. C07.08)
I was told that Python or Visual basic could do this so I downloaded them but I have no experience with this so im lost as to what to do, I have over 1800 of these files so doing it file by file will take quite a while.
I have included a sample of the text file for reference if that helps

Here are two VBScripts that will rename the files based on the text file example you provided. The script that reads a
TEXT FILE requires each entry to be separated by
ONE TAB because it is the
TAB
that it uses to split each line into 4 parts (part1 - old file name, part2 and part3 - items you don’t need, part 4 - new file name). If there is more that one tab then the Split Function will not work properly.
The second VBScript will read the
EXCEL FILE row by row and use the values in Column A for the old file name and
Column D for the new file name. This approach will work much better if you have an excel document setup like this.
I used your example that you provided and it test fine for both approaches.
'Read text file
Dim objFSO, objFolder, inFile, strInLine, strOldFile, strNewFile
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Select the folder
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("C:\Scripts\MusicFiles")
'Open Text File
Set inFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Scripts\MusicFiles.txt",1)
Do Until inFile.AtEndOfStream
'Read text file line by line and Split each line into 4 parts.
strInLine = Split(inFile.ReadLine, vbTab)
'Old File name
strOldFile = strInLine(3)
'new File name
strNewFile = strInLine(0)
'Loop through the files in the folder
For Each File In objFolder.Files
'If the file name matches the old file name above
If File.Name = strOldFile & ".dat" Then
'Replace it
File.Name = strNewFile & ".mpeg"
End If
Next
Loop
'Close the text reader
inFile.Close
MsgBox "Done."
'Read Excel file
Dim objFSO, objExl, objFolder, objWorkbook, strOldFile, strNewFile, intRow
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objExl = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
'Select the folder
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("C:\Scripts\MusicFiles")
'Open the Excel file
Set objWorkbook = objExl.Workbooks.Open("C:\Scripts\MusicFiles.xls")
'Start at row 1
intRow = 1
'Read each Row until the end
Do Until objExl.Cells(intRow,1).Value = ""
'Old file name is in column 4
strOldFile = objExl.Cells(intRow, 4).Value
'New file name is in column 1
strNewFile = objExl.Cells(intRow, 1).Value

Renaming files in a book

Hi everyone,
I need to rename files in a book, but from within the book. A Save as... won't update the cross refrences.
I see an fcode for this (FCodes.KBD_BOOKRENAMEFILE), but I've been advised not to rely on these types of shortcuts.
I don't see anything else documented in the Scripting Guide. Does anyone else have any other suggestions?
Thanks so much!
Heather A

Just following up for anybody else who might need this in the future.
My hangup was that pulling files from the book itself created Doc objects, not File objects (beginners mistake, you hate to see it). Anyway, here are some of the functions that I came up with to handle this task for anybody who needs it. Please be warned, this is quite literally my first ExtendScript project so this may not be the most efficient way to have done this (I'm always open to constructive criticism from those more experienced than myself). I know I went overkill with notes in the code, that was requested by colleagues who know less about code than I do so that if I were no longer employed for some reason another person could come in and understand exactly what the code was doing.
function fileNameReplacer(FullArray, CodeBook, BookFile) {
    /*The fileNameReplacer steps through all of the files in the book looking for those who need to be renamed.

Rename files or folders in Windows 8 not working

Rename a file or folder on a Windows CE device is not working from Windows 8 when connected through Windows Mobile Device Center.
From Windows 7 it worked just fine!
This has been a problem for a very long time now, and im not alone according to all forums.
But no fix as far as i can find!
Is there anyone that have found a fix on this?

It seems a issue in window 8.x system. Maybe you can ask for a MS support ticket.

"Only files in Apple Loops format will be shown in the loop browser".

I recorded a Drum loop from my Korg m50 workstation into logic pro 9.
After recording i tried to import that loop into Apples loop library. After doing so i get this message.."Only files in Apple Loops format will be shown in the loop browser."
What do i do?
Please help.
Thanks

Sharepoint 2013 ItemAdded event receiver for renaming files is not working

In SP 2013 I coded an event receiver that intercepts the ItemAdded event and it just renames the file.
It is a synchronous event (I added <Synchronization>Synchronous</Synchronization> in the Elements.xml).
This is the code:
        public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
            SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()

The problem is that when I upload a .txt file using Internet Explorer, just after the renaming is done, IE says that something went wrong and when I inspect the log files I see:

So it is clear that the fact that I renamed the file is causing an issue in the SharePoint upload logic.
As a solution what I did was to not declare it as Synchronous, but if I do it then there is another error when Sharepoint shows the Edit Properties dialog... in this case the upload is OK but when it is time to show that Edit Property dialog IE fails and
says that the file has been already modified, or that "something went wrong".
If I use a synchronous event I get one problem. If I use the asynchronous event I get another problem... It's very frustating and I am pretty sure that a so important API like Event Receivers should have support renaming files so I hope someone can tell
me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks in advance

May be you want to consider using the following code and see if it works for you.

Get renamed file new name

Hello all. What I'm wanting to do is rename a file and then do some things with the new file name.
1. I want to view the new file name with the full path
2. I want to output the new file name with the full path to a text file or csv file
Here is what I have for outputting the renamed file into a text file, but it isn't working:
cls
$resultsfile = "C:\results3.txt"
clear-content $resultsfile
foreach($item in gc C:\RENAME.txt){
Rename-Item $item "1.txt" | out-file $resultsfile -append
notepad $resultsfile
Any thoughts on how to work with the newly renamed file name?

Yes, sorry I forgot to mention that I'm trying to delete a bunch of files whose names are too long. So what I 'm trying to do is to rename the files first with "1.txt" and then I'm going to delete them. I just had a "forehead-slap" moment where I realized
I could just pipe the "rename-item" into "remove-item" and that should accomplish my goals.
But, as for my original question, if I rename a file, how can i view/use the renamed file name? Like if I renamed a file, how could I output the newly renamed file name to a text file? I tried this in my original code above, but it didn't work. Let's just
assume that I have a single file that I want to rename to "1.txt"

Rename file name & format using ftp sender

Hi all,
This is regarding the renaming of file at sender file(FTP) communication channel and placeing the same file in the same folder.
At FTP server at sender side (i.e.clients place) is in .txt format.But now .txt file has to rename and change into .sav foramt with below required name convention of file.
client format is : SAP_Order.txt (Pervious file name).
We need to change the file in to "SAP_Order_yyyymmddThhmmss.sav" format..
How can i achieve this requirement?
Can please suggests me solutions ASAP.
Best Regards,
satya,

Hi,
if your requirement is to pick the existing file in the FTP folder...and send as idoc to the target and place the renamed file to FTP folder...
then its simple...
use two receivers instead of one , one for point to target and other for sender itself... (second receiver is for changing the file name format....)
Hope the above understanding is correct...if not provide more details of your requirement...

Deleting & renaming files - is there a shortcut to finder?

I am a recent convert from PC to Mac. So far so good. However, one thing starts to drive me up the wall which is deleting/renaming files in programs such as photoshop, word, excel etc.etc.
As far as I can tell, this is only possible in the finder menu. Is this Correct? I am using a lot of folders and subfolders - sometimes 3-4 levels deep. Every time I need to change/delete a file or filename - lets say while in photoshop, I have to go to finder and click my way through several levels of folders to the actual file I need to change. This is somewhat annoying and timeconsuming.
Question 1: is there a way to do these operations in - lets say photoshop directly?
Question 2: If not, is there a shortcut key that would point me automatically to the file in finder where I can make the changes?
Your input would be very helpful and save me some aggravation.

Hi Greg,
Thanks for your input. You are correct as far as "save" and "save as" is concerned. Windows and Mac work the same way.
However, as far as I can tell, in Mac you can only "delete" or "rename" a file in "finder" which forces you to open up finder and locate the file in order to delete or change it.
In windows you can do these 2 functions directly in the program (such as photoshop, excel or words). You do not have to go to "explorer or root directory" to make these changes which I believe would be the equivalent of "finder".
In any case, Terence solved the problem. By command clicking the name (title) of the file in any program, it opens up the directory in "finder". This way makes it easy to select the file and do the changes.

Batch rename files preserving the original file name in metadata

How can I batch rename files while preserving the original file name in metadata? (Don't want the old file name as part of the new file name)
(Adobe CS Bridge can do this with some success, but I don't want to be dependant on this software. Results are inconsistent.)

With a simple terminal script. More details needed, though.

Renaming files in OS X Snow Leopard with illegal chars..

I'm still using Leopard but want to know if the behavior of renaming files is on par of that in, gasp, Windows Vista. I was jsut doing a lot of renaming and it reminded me of the days I used to use Vista when renaming a file and using an 'illegal' character it would pop-up a yellow dialog (not an error window) to remind me of the characters I can use only.
In OS X Leopard 10.5x if I try to use e.g. ":" I get an error box and this then reverts the file back to its original name which erases all of what I had done, all for one char probably. On top of this the error box then gives me a cryptic message as to what the error was about:
"The name "xxxxx" cannot be used.
Try using another name, with fewer characters or no punctuation marks."
I heard that the guys working on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard tidied everything up, doing all those things they always wanted to do, I bet they didn't get many opportunities like that! And was hoping that they did something toward file rename?
I'd expect that the erroneous char would be highlighted and some kind of error shown, but not to delete everything typed in. Can anybody tell me?
Thanks.

It's a unix thing, and not quite something I'd classify as needing to be cleaned up...
• The only illegal character for file and folder names in Mac OS X is the colon “:”
• File and folder names are not permitted to begin with a dot “.”
• File and folder names may be up to 255 characters in length

Renaming files/folders on desktop: weird.

Hi
Since I have OSX Lion, and I want to rename files/folders on my desktop nothing happens.
Or at least not what is suppose to happen. Pressing enter in a finder window works perfect, like always.
But when I hit enter on a file or folder on my desktop it go's blank.
I can't see what i'm doing, but the name will change if I typ a new one. Quit confusing and realy difficult to work with. Any idea's how to fix this?

This has been driving me nuts but I accidentally found the cause...but not the solution. It is a Lion thing as spaces did not have this issue.
I am assuming you are using multiple screens (mission control, formerly spaces). If you go to screen 1 and try to rename the file you CAN see the name as you rename it. If you go to any other screen and try to rename it you get the blank space.
In my case I never rename files on my main screen. I always rename them on which ever screen I am working (word is screen 5, so docx saved to the desktop are renamed on screen 5).
