in [VbScript]

From: Oleg on 4 Jun 2010 01:56 Can someone tell if its possible to replace the basename of a number of .jpg files in specified folder to match their date stamp? file.DateCreated can see that date, but how can I actually rename the files? Thanks!

Yes, it is possible. Create an object oFile by using the GetFile method of the File System Object, then specify a new name via its .Name property. You will find full details plus examples in the downloadable help file script56.chm.
