As usual I guess I wasn't clear.

From the Regex info the "^" was supposed to indicate the start go the filename.

The {"{1, 1, 2}-"} was supposed to add a two digit number, starting at 1 and incrementing by 1, to the start of the filename.

Even when I change the "^" to a "1" in the file name, which all filenames start with, nothing gets changed.

Hey Bob,

Well yes. I showed you how to do that.

Here's a couple of simple examples:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

set fileName to "One.jpg"

set newFileName to change "^" into "01-" in fileName with regexp

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

set fileNames to {"one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine", "ten"}

change {"^on.*", "^f.*"} into {"•••", "•••"} in fileNames with regexp

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The list-form of 'change' works on a one-to-one ratio - each list-index-item-find corresponds to the matching replace-item in the second list.

You cannot use this to directly create a numerically incremented list.

Best Regards,

Chris
