Rename files in dir to creation dates

[BatMan22]

So I'm trying to create a program that looks at all the files in a directory, and renames them according to creation date + 01/02/03/04/05/06 ect ect in the format YYMMDDC01/YYMMDDC02/YYMMDDC03/YYMMDDC04/ect ect

Also if POSSIBLE, I would like it to ignore any file that is older then a week old but lets call that a 'bonus' function.

This is what I have now and am kinda stuck on what to do:

expandcollapse popup

$atrib=FileGetTime("C:\Users\Ash\Desktop\test\test.test", 1, 0)

; Shows the filenames of all files in the current directory
$path = "C:\Users\Ash\Desktop\test\"
$search = FileFindFirstFile("C:\Users\Ash\Desktop\test\*.*")

; Count number of files and Check if the search was successful
If $search = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "No files/directories matched the search pattern")
    Exit
EndIf

$Numberoffiles=0
While 1
    $file = FileFindNextFile($search)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    $Numberoffiles+=1
WEnd
; Close the search handle
FileClose($search)

MsgBox(0,"Number of files",$Numberoffiles)

For $i = 0 to 3 - 1
ConsoleWrite($atrib[1] & @LF)
Next


MsgBox(0, "", $atrib[0]-2000 & $atrib[1]& $atrib[2]);ghetto but works for the next ~73 years



;RenameTest
For $i= 0 to $numberoffiles-1
   MsgBox(0,"Number of files",$Numberoffiles)
   $Numberoffiles-=1
   $file = FileFindNextFile($search)
   FileMove($path & $file, $path & $numberoffiles, 1)
Next

;FileMove ( "C:\Users\Ash\Desktop\test\" & $, "C:\Users\Ash\Desktop\test\*.test" )

Good morning @BatMan22

Let me understand...

You are trying to read the attributes of a file, and rename that file with his creation date; this, for all the files in a folder, right?

If so, it should not be so difficult

Does this help?

 

; Rename Files
#include <Array.au3> ; Only required to display the arrays
#include <File.au3>
Local $re_A = _FileListToArrayRec('c:\Autoit\ForumTests\Dateisortierung\', '*.mp3', $FLTAR_FILES, $FLTAR_NORECUR, $FLTAR_FASTSORT, $FLTAR_FULLPATH)
;~ _ArrayDisplay($re_A)

Local $FilesAndDate_A[UBound($re_A)][2]

For $i = 0 To UBound($FilesAndDate_A) - 1
    $FilesAndDate_A[$i][0] = $re_A[$i]
    $FilesAndDate_A[$i][1] = FileGetTime($re_A[$i], $FT_CREATED, $FT_STRING)
Next

;~ _ArrayDisplay($FilesAndDate_A)

Local $sDrive = "", $sDir = "", $sFileName = "", $sExtension = ""

For $i = 1 To UBound($FilesAndDate_A) - 1
    _PathSplit($FilesAndDate_A[$i][0], $sDrive, $sDir, $sFileName, $sExtension)
    ConsoleWrite($sDrive & $sDir & $FilesAndDate_A[$i][1] & '_' & $sFileName & $sExtension & @CRLF)
    FileMove($FilesAndDate_A[$i][0], $sDrive & $sDir & $FilesAndDate_A[$i][1] & '_' & $sFileName & $sExtension, $FC_OVERWRITE)
Next

I use Ant Renamer 

It's excellent, free, source code available and easy to use. It will let you do what you ask with the date/time functions. I run it from portable apps - so you don't even need privs to install / use.

That's most of what I was looking for.. but.. format needs to be yymmdd, also it needs to be numbered, and to recognize files that are already done, and not do those again.

I currently use BulkRenameUtility, it's a GREAT app and I'm fine with leaving everything alone.. but.. the idiots I work with cant even figure out how THAT is supposed to work.. I've included an example of what the files should look like in GREEN in this picture after it's done renaming.

So, do you want to extend the script with that functionality, or are fine with your tool?

I would love to extend it's functionality.. I really want to automate it so I don't have to deal with their calls every other day.
