    Ok, so I work for a very large telecommunications company, and I have been working on cleaning up the mountainous piles of accumulated documents across multiple networks, rename each of these documents using a naming convention, all while our team continues development on the database that is going to contain said documents...:thumbsup: for :java: That being said, I have been tasked with writing a program that will allow us to take a folder of documents, and apply our naming convention to every document within. I've played around with a few open source media converters, but have not found anything the suits our needs, and it seems like it should be that difficult to develop on my own (with a little guidance). I've used VS to make a few simple programs like a calculator and things like that for school, so this will be a bit of a challenge that I hope to rise to the top of. If you're still reading this, :thumbsup: I will update this thread, and may need to pick the brains of folks as I go along. Hello World! C

      That does not sound too much of a difficult task. Unfortunately you posted this in the Visual Studio forum and omitted to explain which language you are writing in so any answer can only be general. The process you describe is something along the lines of:

      Get a list of files in the folder
      For each file in the list
      Rename the file according to your convention
      Repeat

      The actual code will be a little more complex but not too much.

        As a safety precaution, I suggest you "copy and rename" to a different folder than the folder(s) containing the original files. One can rename "in place", but if there's a problem...
