Rename Variable File Name

jon · Post by **jon** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 1:59 pm

I'm trying to rename a file that is saved to a directory every 5 minutes. The file name, for example is: 3823j66.jpg.

I tried doing a:
MoveFile>C:\Outgoing\*.jpg,C:\Outgoing\myfilename.jpg

But no luck.

Any suggestions, examples?

Thanks,
Jon

Try putting Let>MF_RENAME=1 ahead of the MoveFile> line. Also you will need to use the name of the file being renamed rather than a wildcard.

Hope this helps,
Dick

The problem is that the source filename changes, so he's going to have to first find the name of the most recent file, and then use that in the rename. There are some examples on the forum for that.

I've tried searching the forum, but can't find what I'm looking for yet...
