Renaming Files In A Specific Folder?
Apr 23, 2012
i am currently creating a quick and easy way of renaming files in a specific folder, what i need to do is create a program that will populate a listbox with the names of all the files in a specific folder, then i need to be able to select each item in the list box and rename it with whatever i type into a textbox, but it also needs to rename the file in my selected folder with whatever is typed into the text box...
I have done the initial bit which populates the listbox with the names of the files in my folder:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo("\c:TestFolder")
[Code]......

I have looked around the forums and found a few discussions on this, but none that address my issue.
I want to rename a folder of jpgs with their datetime original from the exif meta file. The line: My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(foundImage, NewPictureName) does have the all the right info: the original file folder and name; and the new picture name - it just doesn't actually do the task.
Here's the sub:
If FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
lblSelPath.Text = FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath
For Each foundImage As String In _

So im trying to get evything that has ends with .iso into a list box, tryed a couple of things but not getting anywhere as yeat
Here is code.
Dim Locate As String = Application.StartupPath & "\Games\"
ListBox1.Items.Add(Locate.EndsWith("*.iso"))
The Locate String is there because thats the location where the iso files are but the application is in the root of the drive. The ListBox1 command is fairly easy to understand

I have copied a folder with a project renaming the folder. I have then browsed and opened the project in the VB.Net 2005 IDE. I have then renamed the Assembly, root namespace, solution and project, searched and replaced all instances of original name, cleaned, rebuilt, tried deleting the bin and obj folders and rebuilt. But every time I run the newly named exe, when I try and start the original exe along side it nothing happens. it still thinks that the old exe is the same process? Both solutions are single instance applications. Why does it still think they are the same. I want the renamed copy to have slightly different functionality to cater for a different type of user but can't get both exe's to run at the same time which some users need. I can't see anywhere I have not changed the name for the new version.

I've created a Setup project (in VB.Net 2008 Standard Edition) and I need to deploy some .rtf files in a specific folder for the user to edit. I've added these files to the project as content files but the Setup project installs them in Program File/MyApp along with the exe. As these rtf files need to be found easily by the user I need to specify a different folder on the hard drive. These are not mdb or xls files so are not used by the app itself. All the user needs to do is find them manually loading them into MS Word for editing. I don't need to load MS Word from the app, but I do need to deploy them so the user has access to them. How do I edit the file path so it does not bury them in Common Files or the User App Data or app folder itself? Ideally, since these are rtf files they could go in My Documents. (The app itself will work whether or not these files exist elsewhere.)

I have a VB.Net 2005 application that is using the DriveListBox, DirListBox, and FileListBox Controls. What I am trying to do is select files from the FileListBox and rename them. I'm thinking I need to use the FileInfo object but not sure how to combine that with the FileListBox. What would be the best way to do this?

So this is what I have right now, I can get it to copy But I am wanting to rename the files with the date inside of the new Directory name, It is going to be used for making a copy of outlook.pst files. But as you can see I can't put in concrete names of where to save it because I want the user to be able to choose where to save it as it will be saved on a server with folders for each individual user.
Public Class Form1
Dim Folder1
Dim Folder2
Dim FolderBrowserDialog1 As New FolderBrowserDialog
Dim FolderBrowserDialog2 As New FolderBrowserDialog

I have started reading guides and such on how to use it and all but the reason I have gotten into it was simply because I need to write a program to rename every music file in a folder to randomize it because my mp3 player plays files from the filename and from first to last.
There are a lot of things I hope to add to this program later such as writing every filename into a document along with the number associated with it and when randomized again I would like it to redo the number according to the new random number, not to mention opening a directory to work with.
For now I just need to rename all the files in the folder the program is in to randomly generated numbers.

I apologize if it is not. I am trying to write a script in Visual Studio 2008 (using a VB project) that will, upon the clicking of a button:
- A file object will be created.
-Said file object will read in a number of files from a specified file path.
-A dataset will be created and populated with fields from two columns within a database table; app_id and company_name.
-The script will read through the file names and fields recorded in the dataset, renaming the file to the app_id if the original file name contained the company_name.
The code I have so far to do this:
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
'Create the file object
Dim objFSO
The problem is that currently this code will only rename the file if the file name and company_name match exactly, ideally I'd need to include a clause to make it rename if the file name is "LIKE" or "contains" the company_name.

I have around 1300 jpeg's that need to be renamed based on the value in an excel spreadsheet.
What I need to be able to do is parse each jpeg in a directory, compare the filename to a list of names in a column in the spreadsheet and if it exists, rename it with the corresponding value from the next column and then move to the next file and so on and so on.
I have the following code for opening the spreadsheet and reading the files but am not sure how to compare the spreadsheet values to the filenames and then rename them:
Code:
Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports System.IO.File

I have a program that will rename files that the user selects. The problem is even though when you go through the whole process, and it works successfully, it doesn't rename every file.To all people new to vb, try not to code like this as it is about the worst way to use a loop. I was in a hurry last night so i took the easy way out [code]Again, bad coding practices throughout the whole project, but the program will probably only be used by my dad so it will do.Note that the form: "Name and Ext" will not be shown when the program is all finished. I only had that visible for now so that i can check to see that everything is executing correctly.

I have to rename a bunch of folders in different directories. What I would like to do is type in a directory and rename/move files into another directory. I have 4 txt files right know, one for the old file names, one for the new file names, and 2 for the directories.
I planed on importing the txt files into 4 arrays and then using the rename function to change the directory going through a loop.
Problem is I'm very very new to VB and have no idea how to import each line of the txt file into the array.

in the current project im making i've decided to add in some tools, 1 of which is a renamer based of a renamer app that already exists (called scdtoolz), i want to build my own version of it so i can learn some new things, and build a nice GUI version of it.[code]So what i have managed to determine is that the current app scans the folders contents for the CRC32 Checksum, and renames based of that, since the 456.bin's CRC32 Checksum was 2274F80B, and in the text file 2274F80B is found here 'WWF - Rage in the Cage (T-81015)(U)#2274F80B#'So now i have determined game identification is based of the CRC32 checksums, how would i go about coding a similar ap in vb.net?first i need to make the app scan a folder, but how to return crcchecksum? and then rename if check = XXXX? If MD4 sums are easier/simpler i can use those instead, im lookin at a few hash app sources now, so i think i can see how to get the md5 but not the crc32 yet, or how to rename the 2 files and folder based of the text file.

I currently have these group of files I want to rename:
C:Users medinaDocuments estenviromentTestfolderfile1-1111.doc
C:Users medinaDocuments estenviromentTestfolderfile2-1111.doc
C:Users medinaDocuments estenviromentTestfolderfile3-1111.doc
C:Users medinaDocuments estenviromentTestfolderfile20-1111.doc
I have a text box on my form where a I would enter a string of text which will replace the '1111' to whatever the string is in the text box field.
So for example, On my app, in the text box field, I would enter 2222, then when I click on button1, it will rename file1-1111.doc to file1-2222.doc, file2-1111.doc to file2-2222.doc, etc.....
