chappyware Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I'm not real sophisticated and don't write scripts. I have chopped long MP3 files into many smaller units with names like FILE 1.mp3, file 2.mp3 etc. I need to insert a zero in fron of the number and I have a macro that does that once I've done the left click on the file in windows explorer and selected RENAME. There are MANY files and I'd like to auomate the left click-select RENAME part but I can't get it to work. Is there an easy way, without knowing how to write a script, that I could accomplish this? Even better, can I just put it in front of my macro to insert the zero?? Thanks for any help you can give. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi to automate it without mouse clicks, you can do this: arrow down to select the next mp3, the text type <APP> command brings up the context box like if you had right clicked on it and then m selects the option to rename it. <TEXTTYPE:<ARROW DOWN>><TEXTTYPE:<APP>><TEXTTYPE:m> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alt+F opens the File Menu M selects Rename <TEXTTYPE:<ALT>fm> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rberq Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Or, arrow down and TEXTTYPE the F2 key, which does the same as ALT-fm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
