 Posted: Wed Jun 04, 2008 2:51 pm Post subject: Folder Manipulation |
 |
|
So I am having a bit of trouble implementing a script I would like to make.
What I want to do is take a list of folders (with files and more folders in them) and rename them with the modified date at the beginning of the folder name. So for example taking a folder and renaming it from "FolderName" to "20080604 - FolderName".
Any help on how to do this or how to loop through a list of folders? |

"FileMoveDir" should do what you want as far as renaming files. Also, look up the Date and Time variables {A_Now might be a good one}.
Maybe something like:
| Code: |
FileSelectFolder, myFolder ; User selects TOP folder
IfNotEqual myFolder,
Loop, FilePattern , 2, 0 ; ,2 = for ONLY folders - ,0 = NO subfolders "Loop (files & folders)"
FileMoveDir, %myFolder%\*, %A_Now%, R ;R = Rename only
|
<<NOT TESTED>>
This SHOULD work on a group of folders below the one selected. The A_Now is typically in YYYYMMDDHH24MISS format {with seconds so folders would have that difference in names} though that can be changed using "FormatTime" and creating your own Time format within the script.
Hope this is helpful {others may know of better ways too}.
Ciao,
Dra'Gon

| Code: | #SingleInstance, Force
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%
SetBatchLines -1
; Build a list of folders - ** Deepest Folder on Top-Of-List **
Loop, *.*,2,1
folders = %A_LoopFileLongPath%`n%folders%
StringTrimRight, Folders, Folders, 1
Loop, Parse, folders, `n, `r
{
SplitPath, A_LoopField, SubFolder, Folder
FileGetTime, fStamp, %A_LoopField%, M
NewFolderName := Folder "\" SubStr(fStamp,1,8) " - " SubFolder
FileMoveDir, %A_LoopField%, %NewFolderName%, 1
} |

I managed to get a script to do everything I want except get the Modified date for the folder.
My script currently does this. Asks for user name, finds root folder, then asks for folder with in that root folder (for fast renaming in a specific folder) then renames it to (date) - FolderName (Username)
| Code: | SetBatchLines, -1 ; Make the operation run at maximum speed.
InputBox, uname, Enter your name ;get name
if uname =
exitapp
FileSelectFolder, mainsourcedir,,,Select Root Folder ;select root folder
if WhichFolder =
exitapp
loop
{
FileSelectFolder, WhichFolder, %mainsourcedir%,,Select a folder to rename. ;select folder to rename
SplitPath, WhichFolder, FName, FDir ;split directory path for usage
;msgbox, About to rename %WhichFolder% to %FDir%\%A_YYYY%%A_MM%%A_DD% - %FName% ;tell what it will be renamed to
if WhichFolder =
exitapp
else
FileMoveDir, %WhichFolder%, %FDir%\%A_YYYY%%A_MM%%A_DD% - %FName% (%uname%), R ;rename it
}
esc::
exitapp
return |
