FileMove for Renaming Purposes

[XinYoung]

Hello again,

I'm trying to use the FileMove function to rename a bunch of text files.

Some of the files have "_1" at the end of their name, for example, "File123_1.txt". I want to remove the "_1" so it would become "File123.txt".

What I currently have...

        FileMove($sSource & "\*_1.txt", $sDestination & "\*.txt")

But since I'm using a wildcard, it doesn't appear to be working. I think it's just replacing .txt with .txt. Am I going about this the wrong way? How can I use wildcards and still accomplish this?

Any help is greatly appreciated ^__^

post your code

This should do what you are looking to do

Local $sData
$FileList = _FileListToArray("C:\Temp", "*"&"_1"&".txt", $FLTA_FILES)
For $i = 0 To UBound($FileList) -1
    $sData = StringReplace($FileList[$i], "_1", "")
    FileMove("C:\Temp\"&$FileList[$i], "C:\Temp\Temp\"&$sData)

Next

...but be sure that both files "File123.txt" and "File123_1.txt" don't exist in the same folder
