Hi @yangbo,

There are multiple ways to manipulate the string name. Not sure if you got more files, but to give you an idea Here’s the sample attachment for your scenario:

Hope this helps you!

Hi Manjuts90,

Thanks soooo much for your reply and apologize for the sample provided above since it is not good.
“3837_000_000_name” cannot be hard code since data provided is not entire data.

The oringinal data is like following.
※※※In a word you can regard the first file name as title in each set, get the string between “～_00” and “.txt” and insert it into the place where “a,b,c,d,e,f,g” are.

20181202_HL00431_00_3837_000_000_name.txt
20181202_HL00431_01_a.txt
20181202_HL00431_02_b.txt

20181202_HL00441_00_3803_001_020_name1.txt
20181202_HL00441_01_c.txt
20181202_HL00441_02_d.txt

20181202_HL00555_00_3803_001_020_name1.txt
20181202_HL00555_01_e.txt
20181202_HL00555_02_f.txt
20181202_HL00555_03_g.txt

etc.

Many thanks,

Thanks for the reply.
As you said guess we need use replace, could you kindly check my reply to Manjuts 90 and give me a sample?

You cannot imagine how helllllllllpful your sample is!!!

I checked it your sample carefully and it looks you are using string “a” to create a new path.
As my reply to Manjuts90, acutlly there are more than 100 data sets in the same original folder and “a” sometimes changing.
Can I still get a sample how to make it even there are multiple datasets?

Anyway, reallly appreciated for the help again.
