Edit it so that the sPath is the name of the folder, and the sExt

just .gif files, for example).


Double click it in Windows Explorer and it should do the trick.

sPath = "c:\temp\folder\"
sExt = ".gif"


Set fsoObject = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fsoFolder = fsoObject.GetFolder(sPath)
for each fsoFile in fsoFolder.Files
if (Right(fsoFile.Name, Len(sExt)) = sExt) then
sNewName = Replace(fsoFile.Name, ".", "_rev1.")
fsoFile.Name = LCase(sNewName)
end if
next
Set fsoFolder = Nothing
Set fsoObject = Nothing

Cheers for that.... as Phil says, I'll try it on something simple first.....!
