Loop Through and Rename Files

by Network Automation Technical Support, in Task of the Month, posted 10/20/06

"This task will loop though filenames in a folder and replace any spaces within a filename with an underscore "_". The results will be displayed in a message box.

This demonstrates another method of renaming a list of filenames. It also demonstrates the use of Common Dialogs to prompt a user for information (in this case, the Folder Browser dialog is used).

Note: In this example the files are not actually renamed, but rather a message box with the renamed value is displayed. In this way you can safely run the task without modifying your system. To actually rename the file, enable the "rename" step."
