Dispatch script to change first character of file name

Grant Kirkland Aug 24, 2017 10:28 AM

I would like to create a Dispatch script that will change the first character of all files of a certain type (one for assemblies, one for parts) with a new character. This will apply to all files in a folder.

For example: 1-123456.sldasm will become A-123456.sldasm

This seems like a simple task, but honestly the script editor seems more difficult than that actually writing a program... I'm stumped.

Can someone help me out?

Do you want to rename in the Vault or just in your local drive?

  In the vault.
  
  Edit: I got the below to work. This is fine if the folder contains all assemblies, but how can I tell it to only find .sldasm files?

    Grant, just implement If statement like on image before Move/Rename file.
    You must declare variables:
