I've been having for the past few hours? What I'm wanting to do is create a program which essentially removes a certain string from the filename in all files. So for example I have:
Picture_tankwithgun.jpg
Picture_bullet.jpg
Picture_randomclown.jpg
[code]......
I am looking for a way to rename all JPG's inside a directory. So I'll pass it a directory (for example C:/PictureTest). It will then rename all JPG's inside that folder to something of my choosing.

I have a script task inside a for each file loop which moves files from one directory to another. It uses the file.move command which works fine unless the file I am moving already exists in the destination directory. I would like to add the datetime string to the filename before moving it or alternatively an incremental variable to make the filename unique before its moved.

I'm trying to figure a way to select multiple files from a folder and rename them and also add a sequential number to the end.Example: Take img_001.jpg, img_002.jpg and rename them to picture1.jpg, picture2.jpg and so on. There is a maximum of 50 files in each folder..
View 4 RepliesSo i have this code that will rename one of the folder:
FileIO.FileSystem.RenameDirectory("C:Program FilesYahoo!", "Yahoo!1")
but when I run the code..it say's: IOException was Unhandled
Access to the path 'C:Program FilesYahoo!' is denied.
I think the OS is the cause of the problem. because in Windows 7 it asks for permission to change the name.
How could i make the program to continue renaming when the log in user is administrator.
I am trying to change the file names of all the files in a directory based on content of the file. So I am opening the file, reading the content, storing the new file name in a variable and then trying to change the name of the file. This is not working because when I start this loop I am opening the file and viewing it so it won't allow me to change while the file is in use. Should I store the old and new file names in an array and do the renames after the For Next Loop is complete?

View 1 Repliesin 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 have a VB.NET project in Visual Studio 2008 that I created a specialized addin for. The addin prompts the user to select a database table, takes a template form class's files, copies them to another directory within the project, and renames the form class within the copied files. It then opens the new form and adds controls to it based on the fields in the database table.
The copying of the template form causes the background compiler to give 'duplicate member' errors, such as "Private Sub InitializeComponents(...) has multiple definitions with identical signatures," even though I renamed the files of the new form and the class name within them. Sometimes these errors go away before the new form is opened, but when they stick around the new form doesn't open correctly, and it throws an error instead. I implemented some code to wait until there are zero errors in the error list before trying to open the new form. This has helped sometimes, but for some reason sometimes the errors don't go away at all until the addin is closed.
How to copy the template form and rename the copy without the background compiler ever noticing duplicate members. If that's not possible, then perhaps someone has an alternative?
Here is my code that copies and renames the template form:
Private Sub CreateDataForm(ByVal tableName As String, ByVal displayName As String) ', ByVal subDataForms As IList(Of Object))
Try
Dim dataFormClassName As String = "frm" & MakeValidName(displayName)
Dim dataFormFileName As String = dataFormClassName & cVBSuffix

I am trying to rename a directory in c# to a name that is the same only with differing case.[code]...
and I get a IOException - Source and destination path must be different. I have also tried Directory.Move() with the same result.
How is this done? Do I have to create a separate temp directory, move the contained files from the original directory to the temp directory, and then delete the original, and rename the temp directory?
How do I search for every file in a directory (including subfolders) that is of a certain type for example txt .than rename all those files.

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.)
Explained :
1. Put in the name of the person = V
2. Pick a file with the openfiledialog = V
3. Make a directory with the name of the person in the appdir = V
4. Copy / Move the file to the new directory = V
5. Then rename the file to the persons name, but keep the .doc / .pdf / .rtf etc = ?
All V = Done
