I want to use the My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile method to rename, for example, "My File.doc" to "My file.doc", i.e. the name change only involves the change of one letter in the name from lower case to upper case (or vice versa). The method throws an exception. (If I rename "My File.doc" to, say, "My_File.doc" or "My ile.doc" it works fine.) Why does it do that? Do I really have to use an intermedite name ("My File.doc" > "_My file.doc" > "My file.doc") to handle this kind of situtation?

New user here. I've been searching high and low for what I would think is a relatively simple task. I want to rename a file with a wildcard (i.e. FileNamexxx.xls) within a Visual Basic Script. I'll be running this script within Visual Studio.
I will only have 1 file in this folder, so I do not believe a loop is necessary. Actual FileName is "CellModelHistory1251234.xls"

i have one file in a tape,and i want to rename it to the today date automaticllyi want to use VB for thatfirst how vb can find a path of a file in a tape??and second how can in rename that file in a tape to the today date or another name??
What piece of code could determine if the new path does already exist, and if not , create a same? For instance on my form I have two TextBoxes i.e. TxtBx1 and TxtBx2.
TxtBx1 presents the complete path and name of an existing file like: C:UsersFarazDocumentsOfficeTest1ABC.xlsx TxtBx2 presents a new path and new name for the same like: C:UsersFarazDocumentsHomeTest2XYZ.xlsx
If there already exists a path C:UsersFarazDocumentsHomeTest2 I want the Button BtnGo to simply move the file to the said folder and be renamed from ABC.xlsx to XYZ.xlsx. However, if such a new path doesn't exist at all, i.e. even there doesn't exist a folder like C:UsersFarazDocumentsHome how to create the same via SHELL and MD and also a subfolder of Test2 within the same and then move the file to the newly created path and finally being renamed?

This is something that I'm curious about. Is it possible using OpenFileDialog to have user select, instead of Access Database File,a file with different name and type but keeping Access Database connection string intact ? I have no idea how you would go about attempting this-----I thought it might be better if the user opened a generic file instead of realizing that they were opening a Database File.Can you create Custom file Type to handle situation like this or do declare some type of Variable
i am trying to change the name of a music file, that has the new name set as its description title.

I'm making somewhat of a File Shredder, wherein, it overwrites your file with a random combonation of 1's and 0's, and i was wondering, is there a way to, once you've overwritten the file, rename it to a 'random' name?How it works: (Not very effective, I know)It overwrites the file w/ 1's and 0's.Basically, theres a textbox, where a 'random' combonation of 1's and 0's(Here after known as 'data') come sup everytime.So, it overwrites wht is on that file w/ the 'data' and saves it, using a save file dialog.Is there a way so that when you save it, it saves it as a 'random' name? Like if the file was 'MY INFORMATION' Once overwritten it'd be like l_fnfu4ufhf or something.
I need to convert many separate .tiff or .mdi files scanned invoices to .pdf but, I need to retrieve the invoice number from each file and rename each file with the invoice number. I am running VS 2005, and have looked at Itextsharp,hp document imaging, simple ocr, aquaforest, adobe sdk. The problem with all, is either compatibility or cost.

I have completed my VB code and decided to publish it(make program an installable program). However, I want to rename my project so that when I publish it, the program will be the name I want. Now, my project is named as "Trial" when I first started. Now I want to change to "Monitor" due to some reasons. So it means having to renames all the files in that project as "Monitor" instead of "Trial".
I understand how to rename a file in vb.net as I use the coding at the end of my post. However, is its possible to rename a file and if the file exists then to rename it and add +1 to the file name? So if I ran the code. 'Run it first time My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile("c: est est.txt", "c: estNewName.txt") 'Run it again but it should add +1 as the file will already exists so it should be "c: estNewName1.txt" My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile("c: est est.txt", "c: estNewName.txt")
Decided rather than rename and +1 it would be better to just date stamp it. My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile("c: est est.txt", "Test" & Format(Date.Now, "ddMMyy") & ".txt")

I am helping a friend convert files from floppy to CD. The files are in WordPerfect for DOS (8.3)format. she named the files as follows: name.month eg; Baker.jan. if there were more than 1 "Baker" files in the same month she named them baker1.jan,Baker2.jan etc... She then copied them to floppies and when one got full she started another. The problem is I have multiple instances of the same filename on different disks so when I copy to my HD windows asks if I want to overwrite the files. I have been writing the names down and renaming them manually. Is there any way to automate this process? I would need to perform the following:
1. Check if floppy filename exists on HD already 2. if it doesn't, copy to HD 3. if it does, is it the same file or different file with the same name (file size has been a good indicator so far) 4.If it's the same =>ignore and go to next file on disk 5. if different, rename then copy to HD then go to next file 6. repeat until all files have been copied
I have 300+ disks to do this with and it is very time consuming.
I am making a program where I want to copy & rename a file. I want to copy a file from a directory which I can choose (by OpenFileDialog1.FileName), then copy or move it to a directory. This directory has been newly made and named (progdirCollin). Let's say the file is called cv.pdf then I want it to be moved to the new dir and rename it Collin.pdf. The extensions can also be .rtf or .doc and I want them to be left unchanged. So I want to copy or move a file, rename it, but keep the extension of the file, which can be all kinds of file (vb.pdf to collin.pdf or vb.txt to collin.txt.)

Updating the text of the node seems to take some time, when can I put it to sleep for (300) so it updates and then changes the filename? Or am I missing something?
Im using Visual Studio 2008 This is my first program I renamed the program for the forum. If I remove the paths and execute my .exe from the AppDatalocal folder where the settings.ini file is it works fine, but I don't want have to run the program from there. I tried using %Username% for relative paths, but the computer can't follow the path. Do i have to write code to get the current username or how do programmers do this? Here's part of the program
Using the library to connect to a remote server and copy a file. I have the process working fairly well but have some smaller things which I cant seem to resolve as documentation for the library is fairly thin. I have two routines working.

Right now I upload a temp image file, delete the original, and then rename the temp to the original. Is there any way to rename without deleting first? I am doing this in a loop for a webcam program and when I delete the image, it shows a broken image if it is being veiwed right then. I wish I could allow it to overwrite when calling the rename. FYI, I have to upload a temp image first because if I upload the original, it will show as a broken image or partial at timed when being viewed.
