Rename folders

Post by rice1973 »

Hello Oleg,

I need to rename folders.

eg "12532-123.10.236" has to become "123.10.236"
eg "1254-152.23.252" has to become "152.23.252"

Under is the task for renaming files like that. How can i
use it to rename the folders?

Post by Oleg »

You can't use this task without changes.
You should modify this task (or create new task and use this task as template):
- File loop mus be "By folders"
- It seems step #4 is superfluous
- Use "rename folder" instead of "rename files"

I'm sorry this is a mishmash with text of the task and steps from clipboard...

Why do you use OldPathName variable in steps #2, 3, 5, 6, 7
I don't see where you assign some value to it

Maybe you want to save the value into OldPathName in step #1
Also see step #1. You do not need use braces "{}".
Write variable name only.

You should replace ExtractPathName to ExtractFileName everywhere
ExtractPathName - is nonexistent variable.

Or simply use the example below:

Rename folders

Post by rice1973 »

Oeps, to early..

In the mainfolder eg "11641-286.65.001"
is a subfolder "Images" and in that folder the is another
subfolder "11641-286.65.001" that also has to be renamed
to "286.65.001"

So original structure is "11641-286.65.001/Images/11641-
286.65.001" has to become "286.65.001/Images/286.65.001"

The Include Subfolders in File Loop does
not work.

I think that is not working because of Create local
variable

Any solution?
