I need help with truncate and rename files

[timle]

I have files that have this long name format
xx_0504_01_tra_xxxx_xx.ps

I would like to automatically change to

travel_0504_p01.ps

Would you help me program this?
thank you very much

Here is the renaming portion for you.

Code: Select all

Let>OldFile=xx_0504_01_tra_xxxx_xx.ps
MidStr>%OldFile%,4,4,core1
MidStr>%OldFile%,9,2,core2
Let>NewFile=travel_%core1%_p%core2%.ps
Message>Old file %OldFile%%CRLF%has been renamed to%CRLF%%NewFile%

You may need to loop through a directory to get the OldFile names. See help on GetFileList command and use the programming above for each filename.
