Batch Renaming Folders With Date And Version [closed]
I am trying to batch rename about a thousand folders into a particular format - ("date" "version" - "title"). For example "100311a-Project Name". I am able to use a renaming application (Better Rename 10) to create a file like "100311-Project Name", but I often have multiple projects made on a single day so I would like to add a version letter, where the version is the order of projects (chronologically) that were created on this particular day. How can I do this using Better Rename 10? Thanks people!

Also, consider adding the time as option to differentiate about different projects. I'm sure the projects were not made in the same minute? That is more easily done than versioning.

Thanks LPChip! But, I would ideally like to have a version letter to keep the title somewhat concise.

@music2myear, apologies for my newbie question, but are you referring to a script within the command line? I've been using some basic Regex expressions within Better Rename 10, but maybe this is better done in the command line/terminal? Thanks!
