Sequentially Numbering Folders?

I have a master folder labeled FOLDERS. This folder contains 1oo Sub Folders labeled New Folder (1), New Folder (2), etc.
I want to rename all these subfolders so they are named 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. up to 100.
I just can not figure out how to accomplish this. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Sequentially Numbering Folders?

Hi and welcome

Here are the steps for your example:

1) In filter settings, tick only "Add folders as files" to process only folders
2) Add "Delete rule"
From: position 1
Until: till the end, [x] skip extension
3) Add "Serialize rule"
Incremental: index starts and step are 1
Insert where: you can tick prefix, suffix or position radio button, [x] skip extension
4) Select all (Ctrl+A) of your New Folders and Drag & Drop to files table
5) If not sorted, sort by name by clicking on "Name" column.
6) Click Preview to see if everything is as you wish, then click Rename button and that's it.

For more information of using ReNamer you can check the User Manual (Alt+F1) or unofficial one created by Narayan which is solid.

Cheers

Re: Sequentially Numbering Folders?

Or use Regex rule:
Expression: "New folder \((\d+)\)"
Replace: $1

Regular Expressions are not as hard to understand as you may think. Check ReNamer's manual or nice Regular Expressions tutorial for more info and start to use full power of applications that use them (like ReNamer, Mp3Tag and so on).
