Well,it does'nt seems to work ?
Dont know why.I have use visual C++ to compile it as an MFC project,no errors but four warnings.
Here is the code with a some very little modifications.

int RenameFiles(char* startingWith, char* renameTo, char* extension)
{
CFileFind finder;
char renameFile[1028];
char temp[1028];
CString fileName;
static int counter;

sprintf(temp,"%s*.*",startingWith);
bool bImagesExist = (bool)finder.FindFile(temp);


while(bImagesExist)
{
bImagesExist = finder.FindNextFile();

if(finder.IsDirectory())continue;

fileName = finder.GetFileName();

sprintf(renameFile,"%s%d.%s",renameTo,counter++,extension);
sprintf(temp,"Renaming %s to %s\n",(LPCTSTR)fileName,renameFile);
std::cout<<temp;
std::cout<<(rename((LPCTSTR) finder.GetFileName(),renameFile) ? &quot;COULD NOT RENAME&quot;:&quot;RENAMED&quot<<
std::endl;
}

bool bWorking = finder.FindFile(&quot;*.*&quot;
while(bWorking)
{
bWorking = finder.FindNextFile();

if(finder.GetFileName() != &quot;.&quot; && finder.GetFileName() != &quot;..&quot
{
if(finder.IsDirectory())
{
SetCurrentDirectory((LPCTSTR)finder.GetFileName());
RenameFiles(startingWith,renameTo,extension);
}
}
}
SetCurrentDirectory(&quot;..&quot;

return counter;

}


int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
RenameFiles(&quot;C:\\Documents and Settings\\Gonzales Cenelia\\Mes documents\\advanced.txt&quot;,&quot;advanced5.txt&quot;,&quot;.txt&quot;
return 0;
}

 

[Zyrenthian]

try this for a call to RenameFiles

SetCurrentDirectory(&quot;C::\\Documents and Settings\\Gonzales Cenelia\\Mes documents&quot;

RenameFiles(&quot;advanced&quot;,&quot;advanced5&quot;,&quot;txt&quot;


See if that produces the desired result.

Lets say that it's better than the first time but they are still some problems.

RenameFiles(&quot;advanced&quot;,&quot;advanced5&quot;,&quot;txt&quot gives the following result:advanced..50.txt.

i used the following lines:
_chdir(&quot;C:\\Documents and Settings\\Gonzales Cenelia\\Mes documents\\&quot;
RenameFiles(&quot;advanced&quot;,&quot;advanced5&quot;,&quot;txt&quot;

because this one:
SetCurrentDirectory(&quot;C::\\Documents and Settings\\Gonzales Cenelia\\Mes documents&quot;

RenameFiles(&quot;advanced&quot;,&quot;advanced5&quot;,&quot;txt&quot;

did not give any result.

I have finally succeded with some minor changes to the original code.Her it is:

#include &quot;stdafx.h&quot;
void RenameFiles(char* startingWith, char* renameTo)
{
CFileFind finder;
char renameFile[1028];
char temp[1028];
CString fileName;
static int counter;
bool bImagesExist;
bool bWorking;

sprintf(temp,&quot;%s*.*&quot;,startingWith);
(finder.FindFile(temp)) ?
bImagesExist=true : bImagesExist=false;

while(bImagesExist)
{
(finder.FindNextFile()) ?
bImagesExist=true : bImagesExist=false;

if(finder.IsDirectory())continue;

fileName = finder.GetFileName();

sprintf(renameFile,&quot;%s&quot;,renameTo);
sprintf(temp,&quot;Renaming %s to %s : %d file(s) renamed\n&quot;,(LPCTSTR)fileName,renameFile,counter++);
std::cout<<temp;
std::cout<<(rename((LPCTSTR) finder.GetFileName(),renameFile) ? &quot;COULD NOT RENAME&quot;:&quot;&quot<<
std::endl;
}

(finder.FindFile(&quot;*.*&quot) ?
bWorking=true : bWorking=false;
while(bWorking)
{
(finder.FindNextFile()) ?
bWorking=true : bWorking=false;

if(finder.GetFileName() != &quot;.&quot; && finder.GetFileName() != &quot;..&quot
{
if(finder.IsDirectory())
{
_chdir((LPCTSTR)finder.GetFileName());
RenameFiles(startingWith,renameTo);
}
}
}
_chdir(&quot;..&quot;

}


int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
_chdir(&quot;c:\\&quot;
RenameFiles(&quot;readme45.rtf&quot;,&quot;readme.txt&quot;
return 0;
}

For people ho are interested here is some code(MFC code) four searching a specific file or folder in a directory or folder.It even search subfolders to.


using namespace std;

void SearchDirectory(char *szFilename,char *szDirectory)
{
CFileFind finder;
char Directory[_MAX_PATH];
char temp[1028];
CString fileName;
static int counter=1;
static int match=0;
static int repeat=0;
bool bImagesExist;
bool bWorking;

if(repeat==0)
{
_chdir(szDirectory);
}
repeat++;
sprintf(temp,&quot;%s*.*&quot;,szFilename);
(finder.FindFile(temp)) ?
bImagesExist=true : bImagesExist=false;

while(bImagesExist)
{
(finder.FindNextFile()) ?
bImagesExist=true : bImagesExist=false;

fileName = finder.GetFileName();
sprintf(Directory,&quot;%s&quot;,szDirectory);
sprintf(temp,&quot;Searching %s in %s : %d fil(s) searched\n&quot;,(LPCTSTR)fileName,Directory,counter++);
cout<<temp;

if(stricmp((LPCTSTR) finder.GetFileName(),szFilename))
{
cout<<&quot;NOT FOUND IN &quot;<< _getcwd(Directory,_MAX_PATH)<<endl<<endl;
}

else
{
match++;
cout<<&quot;FOUND IN &quot;<<_getcwd(Directory,_MAX_PATH)<<endl
<<match<<&quot; file(s) match your request&quot;<<endl<<endl;
}
}

(finder.FindFile(&quot;*.*&quot) ?
bWorking=true : bWorking=false;
while(bWorking)
{
(finder.FindNextFile()) ?
bWorking=true : bWorking=false;

if(finder.GetFileName() != &quot;.&quot; && finder.GetFileName() != &quot;..&quot
{
if(finder.IsDirectory())
{
_chdir((LPCTSTR)finder.GetFileName());
SearchDirectory(szFilename,szDirectory);
}
}
}
_chdir(&quot;..&quot;
finder.Close();
}
