Batch file naming - serialize in reverse

  • Thread-topic: Batch file naming - serialize in reverse

Hello,

I have a program named "Filenamer" and another cool utility called "File
List" which allow batch file naming/renaming. Both offer serialization
options, but both only offer this in ascending order. I would like to rename
files that have already been serialized in ascending order to descending
order.  For example:

Starting value: 13
Step value:  -2

1.pdf          >            13.pdf
2.pdf          >            11.pdf
3.pdf          >            09.pdf
4.pdf          >            07.pdf
5.pdf          >            05.pdf
6.pdf          >            03.pdf
7.pdf          >            01.pdf

The reason for wanting this is to be able to interleave a folder of
front-side page scans with a folder of back-side page scans. The back sides
are scanned last page first, so they would need to be renumbered thus.

Am I seeking the impossible?


Thanks,
Bill Planey
