texte = Thanks Marc, but that won't work because company A uses a rather complex naming convention to name their files, which must be decoded to provide the new file names hence my foray into WebDNA.On the other hand, I might be able to talk to the developers and give them my algorithm and see what they can produce for me.I thought a web based solution would be better suited to the task, because this will be a one time conversion for most customers, and it may be easier to control licensing and unauthorized sharing of the program.Food for thought, though....thanks.Cheers,WillOn Feb 7, 2007, at 3:10 PMCST, Marc Thompson wrote:> http://publicspace.net/windows/BetterFileRename/>> I've used it and it works great!> Of course there are any number of free ones you might consider...>>>> WJ Starck wrote:>>> Hello diehards->>>>>> I have a set of templates that can rename files from one >>> company's naming convention to another company's (these are >>> digital images).
