Hello,
I'm hoping to find a philanthropists who can help me write an
applescript to auto re-name thousands of files according to a
corresponding .txt word list.
I have 65,000 files, separated into batches of 500. Each batch of 500
files is named identically, using the following protocol: "A_01; A_02;
A_03..." and so on. Each .txt list has the same number of words as
files in the batch folders. The words in the .txt files are separated
by paragraph breaks.
I'm using os 9, but can have access to an on X box
Can anyone assist me in writing an applescript that will name the files
according to the word list along the same index [eg. A_01 will be
re-named with the 1st word in the list, A_02 will be named with the 2nd
word in the list.
For reference, I'm an artist working on a large scale database project
involving the oxford dictionary.
