OK, so easy @superpunchypp
We need delete this 2 activity only, and edit some variable in next step, I will modify it then send to you in this evening (about 2 hours later)

got it, do also add the other we discussed, if the value is similar, keep the first value and delete the second file that has same renamed, hence only keeping one and no duplicate

23

OK @superpunchypp ,
After test it success, I will sent to you

use Python to invoke the Python script to do this its so easy to do.

Use below Code:
import os

# Specify the folder path
folder_path = r'C:\Path\To\Your\Folder'

# List all files in the folder
files = os.listdir(folder_path)

# Iterate through the files in the folder
for file in files:
    # Check if the file is a Word document (you can modify the condition accordingly)
    if file.endswith('.docx'):
        # Specify the old and new file paths
        old_file_path = os.path.join(folder_path, file)
        
        # Rename the file (replace 'Word' with the desired new name)
        new_file_path = os.path.join(folder_path, file.replace('Word', 'NewName'))
        
        # Perform the renaming
        os.rename(old_file_path, new_file_path)
        
        print(f"Renamed: {old_file_path} to {new_file_path}")

Make sure to replace 'Word' with the actual part of the filename that you want to replace, and 'NewName' with the desired new name.

If you dont know how to use python please check the below post I explain end to end and I given the python script and also I given Video for beginners

If you have any issues let me know.

Thanks,

Hi @superpunchypp ,
currentname = newname

which variable would be the currentname and newname

31

Hi @superpunchypp ,
The current name is file.toString
You can call the new name according to the renaming method I sent you in the previous source code

@superpunchypp

You need to use currentfile.name.equals(renamenewname)

Or

currentfile.name.Split("."c)(0).equals(renamenewname.Split("."c)(0))

Cheers

@superpunchypp

You wnat the condition for rename…so place it at the point of rename…and move rename to the else side of if condition where ever you need
