changing file names on the fly
Is there a way to alter file names in a directory (from a MC script, not manually)? :-) I have hundreds of images of which the name has to be changed slightly. For example: *anim1_Angle1.00_ 9.png* must be changed to (space deleted): *anim1_Angle1.00_9.png* Eva ___ metacard mailing list metacard@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

Hi Eva, Is there a way to alter file names in a directory (from a MC script, not manually)? :-) I have hundreds of images of which the name has to be changed slightly. For example: anim1_Angle1.00_ 9.png must be changed to (space deleted): anim1_Angle1.00_9.png yes, use the rename command: Put the filename into a variable - tFilenameOld put tFileNameOld into tFileNameNew Modify/fix it as needed: set itemdel to / replace with in item -1 of tFileNameNew rename file tFileNameOld to tFileNameNew You get the picture :-) Eva Best Klaus -- Klaus Major http://www.major-k.de kl...@major.on-rev.com ___ metacard mailing list metacard@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

Re: Live livecode event
Knowledge about even the existence of Metacard is very low among new customers of LC. That is why I am looking for presenters who can talk about one or some of these topics: - How to set up MC on Mac and/or Windows - Introduction to differences between MC and LC - Explanation about how to extend MC (or LC) - History overview back to MC or even all the way to Hypercard - Anything else We gather every Saturday at 20:00 CET, more info at www.livecode.tv Is no one here is up to this task?
