Can someone write me a simple script for Windows? File renamer.

I need a script that will look in a folder and rename the files based on the following criteria:

pic1 = a
pic2 = b
pic3 = c
etc

So for example:

bedroom-3-pic6.jpg would be renamed to bedroom-3-f.jpg

I'd like to be able to simply drop the script into the folder, double click it, and have it automatically rename everything. I think with perl scripts I have to run it from CLI?

Nope! Put this at the top of your Perl script:

@rem='
@perl "%~dpn0.bat" %*
@goto endofsh
';

Then put this at the bottom:

__END__

:endofsh

Mind the blank lines, and be sure to put one before "__END__". Then rename the file as a .bat, and it becomes a batch file!

That's easy; the renaming job looks harder. :hmm:

Edit: Are you guaranteeing that there will be no pic27 after pic26?

I've seen free utilities to do this, and used them in the past. Google around a bit and I'm sure you'll find something.

If you really can't find anything I could write something up in c# to do that just be specific on what you want and no gaurantees if I mess up your computer lol, which shouldn't happen. You probably want 27 to be aa and 28 to be ab and so on. That wouldn't be too hard.
