afternoon,

Im having to rename multiple files and so far its going to be a long while before completed.
Im currently have to use this process in Dreamweaver

Find Audi001
Rename to AUDI-001

This is the same process for other makes of vehicles.

so after the first is done i then do
Find Audi002
Rename to AUDI-002

Is there a script we can write to save me hours of work please.

Hi there theremotedr,


I am confused. :confused:

Why do you have to or want to change
your file names in this way?

Your site is working OK, isn't it?

The other day we changed some text to LEXUS-004

Today i remembered that in the coding which some populates a link in my email it was written like so

Lexus 004

And also

LEXUS 004


Thus chucking up broken links etc


So all after noon ive been changing it so ir all now is written like so

LEXUS-004



No all i have to do is Honda and im finished

Is there a code we can use ?

Honda being the biggest hence leaving it to last.
Here is some info to assist you.

The files start at 001 and finish at 059

So the filenames in use are like so Honda001 and also like HONDA006

BOTH need to be renamed like HONDA-001 and HONDA-006

Thanks if you can assist
