Hi,

Does anyone know how to change every file name of the selected folder using ExtendScript? ... or is it possible?

eg like below:

set fol to choose folder
set astid to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "_"
tell application "Finder"
	repeat with apf in (get every file in entire contents of fol)
		set old_name to every word of (apf's name as text)
		set apf's name to ((old_name as text) & ".jpg")
	end repeat
end tell
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to astid

regards
Erkki
