Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / May 2008Sequential File Name Numbering
I am trying to number file names sequentially. It works, but not how I would like. I am trying to number file names as: Filename (10), Filename (11), Filename (12)... What I get is: Filename (10), Filename (2), Filename (3)... How do I do what I want? > I am trying to number file names sequentially. It works, but not how > I would like.

Looks like a sorting issue: when you list file names in sorted order, they are sorted alphabetically. In this way, you get 1,10,2,... How to solve: always use same number of digits -> 01, 02 etc. > I am trying to number file names sequentially. It works, but not how > I would like. I am trying to number file names as: Filename (10), > Filename (11), Filename (12)... What I get is: Filename (10), > Filename (2), Filename (3)... How do I do what I want? Because the digits are not numbers, they are characters. If you had File1, File2, File11, File25 and converted the digits to letters, you'd have ("b" = blank) FileAb FileAA FileBb FileBE Basic rule: If you can't do arithmetic on them, the digits are not numbers, they are characers. |
