is there any way to make the script to run once a day, go to selected folders and to rename the files in those folders to contain a specific string at the very beginning of the file name UNLESS they already contain such string? Imagine I have a folder named X007-007 and throughout the day I would save several files in the folder, at the end of the day I need all files to start with X007-007-a_v1 (where A would) be the number of the file in the folder (v1 is just for a version 1). congratulations for successfully accomplishing the batch renaming task :)ĭisplay alert "All done!

'index' is our counter that we initially set to 1 and then count up with every file. now we start looping through all selected files. Set all_files to every item of ( choose file with prompt "Choose the Files you'd like to rename: " with multiple selections allowed) as listĭisplay dialog "New file name: " default answer "" this is required to break the filename into pieces (separate name and extension) So I want to replace only sections of the filename.- Open in AppleScript Editor and save as Application However, I do not know how to adapt the code to find and replace the portions. I can use the find and replace on finder but I will have to do it for 200 files. I have been trying to use Automator to rename portions of 300 files names.
