Name Reversing Script

Teknik · 2011-02-17 21:39

Ok so since I tried using the ''remove'' rule once and it failed, I tried using the ''delete'' rule instead. Thing is, when I add the rule, there is a conflict. How do I avoid this?

Use "Fix conflicting new names" option: ReNamer:Menus_for_the_Files_pane#Options_menu

Thanks stefan, your script worked well!

Could you write one that only reverses the extension name?
e.g. report.xls becomes report.slx
or kid.jpg = kid.gpj

thanks

Here is a script which will reverse (invert) just the file extension:

var
  I, Count: Integer;
  Ext, NewExt: WideString;
begin
  Ext := WideExtractFileExt(FileName);
  NewExt := Ext;
  Count := Length(Ext);
  for I := 2 to Count do
    NewExt[I] := Ext[Count - I + 2];
  FileName := WideExtractBaseName(FileName) + NewExt;
end.

Many thanks den4b!

Works like a charm.
Using this to protect files.

Please could you do a script for symmetrical extension names, like .rar to rename to .rra, i.e swap 2nd and 3rd letter of extension only.

Lastly, could I rename the extensions of every file on a hard drive using a batch file?
for example :
automaticaly search and rename all of these file types [txt rar xls xlsx ppt doc docx jpeg avi mp3 mts..........etc] on a particular hard drive, e.g c drive. d drive, f drive?

Many thanks

Security through obscurity is a bad idea, just to be clear.

Have you tried modifying the script yourself to achieve this? You already have the building blocks, you just need to re-arrange them a bit. Official documentation could also come in handy.

Lastly, could I rename the extensions of every file on a hard drive using a batch file?

Sure, just save your rules as a preset and use command line options to execute a preset on any set of files, folders or even drives.
