Need Help with renaming thousands of files

[Salmon Trout]

Not explained properly.

[gpl]

How can you tell that
E:\Temp\Temp.bik
is the small version of
E:\Batman\Videos\Trailer.bik

?

[Bukhari1986]

consider my game is Batman
and ma videos are in E:\Batman\Videos\Trailer.bik (50 mb)

now i Have the low quality Video of 10 mb in E:\Temp\Temp.bik
(now u understood Problem is not size but the "NAME"

pls Give me a code which would Overwrite Trailer.bik with Temp.bik [and  rename Temp.bik to Trailer.bik]
============================================




May be my solution works



@echo off

del e:\batman\videos\*.bik     

copy e:\temp\temp*.bik e:\batman\videos\trai*.bik

>>>> first line deletes all *.bik files in videos folder

>>>> second will copy all the files on the name of trai.bik

this i did by supposing that you have given numbers to temp.bik like temp001.bik, temp002.bik, .....

Note 1: this method i have shared is only copying /replacing in the name size of both the sides are equal (like temp001.bik and trai001.bik    the numbers may exceed to thousands but the alphabates should be same)


Note 2: If you do not want to delete the other files, you can copy it somewhere else before deleting by using the command copy e:\batman\vidios\*.bik e:\copy\




Just open a notepad, write the above code, and save in the .bat extension 

Please reply if it works

hey salmon ive pasted a new And hardest QUERY in ma lyf in COMPUTER PROGRAMMING section
pls check it out

[Bukhari1986]

Mr. PAIN

my solution didn't worked??

I tested it on my computer and then posted it here

It can copy large number of files from one place to another according to what you said.

you should have atleast replied to my post with words "NO Thanks I do not need your Help"  I wasted my such a long time by coming again and again to the forum to see weather you understood my solution or not and you even didn't replied with a single word and you ignored it if there wasn't any post at all.

huh

[patio]

You may not be suited to a Forum atmosphere...this happens you know...

[Salmon Trout]

huh

I feel your pain! Seriously, don't, ever, expect any thanks for helping people on forums. It's nice if you get some, sure, but very often people just read your reply and bugger off. Like patio says, this happens (very often).

[Bukhari1986]

Thanks a lot Salmon

I will never forget this great words of yours

Thanks again

Hey Salmon ive got sum Part of my Query

my File is "E:\TEST\ESRB.bik"(1 kb)   

other File is "E:\TEST\test\bink.bik"(1 mb)

my Code is

xcopy E:\TEST\ESRB.bik E:\TEST\test\bink.bik

this Overwrites the [1 mb FILE (bink.bik) With ESRB.bik (1 KB) Without changing the names


now if there r 100's of files in E:\TEST\        and in       E:\TEST\test\


wat shld b d CODE

[Bukhari1986]

try * or ? for the number of files

eg.

esrb1.bik
esrb2.bik
.
.
esrb100.bik
.
.
esrb1000.bik



then use in the command 

xcopy E:\TEST\ESRB*.bik E:\TEST\test\bink*.bik



? is for known number of digits i.e. if esrb001.bik   then use esrb???.bik  this will not act on esrb10000.bik. whereas esrb*.bik will work






Enjoy

[great_compressor_pain]

no Bukhari1986 no

ESRB.bik.....that part is OK [u r absolutely right,thanks]

but th problem is bink.bik

ther r several names for eg Trailer.bik
                                            Attractmode.bik
                                            And many more, but none of the names r repeated

[Bukhari1986]

if you do not want to change the name of each file while copying to the destination directory then the following command

xcopy E:\TEST\*.bik E:\TEST\test\*.bik      (copying everything with the extension .bik)

OR

xcopy E:\TEST\*.* E:\TEST\test\*.*        (for Everything in the directory.)

you can stop the option of confirming the overwrite question by putting /Y at the end or you can see more help with the xcopy command by typing xcopy /? in a command prompt.


If your requirement is to copy every separate named file to the destination folder with a new name for each of the file, then you need to input a separate command for every file or every set of files with similar names.

@ pain

I found your another post for finding the source code of some Inject.exe software.

I think you search Resource Hacker Software for it and open that exe file through it

may be you get help.
