Rename Script that changes filenames using Excel

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

Hi there,

I hope somebody can help.

I do have 1900 files for a rename.

Existing file is e.G. 1528.ai and has to be renamed in 123456-1528.ai

I do have an Excel Sheet in column A is the old name in column B the desired filename.

Is there a chance to rename it by AppleScript?

Best,
Christoph

Very doable. Assuming all the files are in a single directory, and the file names and replacements are in the first two columns of the Excel sheet.

Please search. There are a lot of related questions.

FWIW, KniazidisR earlier responded to a request from the OP and provided a working script. This thread can be found here and it seems to do what Christoph wants.
