I have a batchfile that I'm trying to use with Ant Renamer to work on a folder's worth of files. A BIIIIG FOLDER's worth of files. I want to click at random on any file in a random folder, and have the full command work. It is this:
Code: Select all
> E:\apps\Utilities\Ant Renamer\Renamer.exe -b F:\Shez\gmRenBatch01.arb -afr $P -g -x
Now, IF I highlight something less than 254 files (really not sure WHAT the limit is) and click the icon I have connected to this user command, everything works as I want:
Code: Select all
> E:\apps\Utilities\Ant Renamer\Renamer.exe -b F:\Shez\gmRenBatch01.arb -af $S -g -x
- Here is the list of supported parameters:
-b FileName.arb : Loads the batch file called FileName.arb
-g : Launches the renaming process after files have been added and batch file loaded
-x : Quits the program after the renaming process
-a : Change the file add mode, based on the letters following the "-a" parameter:
f : Add files from filenames/paths that follow
F : Add folders that follow, or contained in folders, see examples
r : Recursive addition of folders' contents
The filenames and paths can be relative or absolute, and they can contain wildcards (* and ?).
Here are some examples:
Renamer.exe -b d:\test.arb -af c:\data\*.* -g -x
This will load the batch file specified, add all files contained in c:\data folder, start renaming and then exit
Renamer.exe -af c:\data
This will add the file called c:\data
Renamer.exe -afr c:\data
This will add the file called c:\data. If it is a folder, it will add the files that it contains (recursive search)
Renamer.exe -aF c:\data
This will add the "data" folder
Renamer.exe -aF c:\data\*.*
You can combine several paths/filenames, use masks, and use different "-a" parameters in one command line
Thanks in advance for any help, GM
