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
