Renaming Directories programmatically? 2

[WildWest]

I’m looking for an application that will recursively rename files and directories. Does anyone have one?

For example, I want to change the space character “ “ to the underscore “_” in all files names and directories. If you don’t have it, please let me know if you know where I can find one. Thanks a bunch!!! I appreciate your help.

Below is the code for all fiels in a particualr directory
u have to add in the begining
Implements System.IO

u can do it for sub-directory as well
Nouman

Private Sub ProcessDirectory(ByVal targetDirectory As String)
Dim fileEntries As String() = Directory.GetFiles(targetDirectory)
' Process the list of files found in the directory
Dim fileName As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim usergroupList As New ArrayList()
lstavailableFiles.Items.Clear()

For Each fileName In fileEntries
''do wahatever u want with the filename
' Say Rename file name
Rename(filename, <NewFileName>)
Next fileName

End Sub 'ProcessDirectory

and to do the recursively, you could do something like
----------------------------------------------------
Private Sub ProcessDirectory(ByVal targetDirectory As String)
Dim MyFiles As String() = IO.Directory.GetFiles(targetDirectory)
Dim fileName, DirName As String
For Each fileName In MyFiles
Rename(fileName, fileName.Replace(&quot; &quot;, &quot;_&quot)
Next fileName
Dim MyDirs As String() = IO.Directory.GetDirectories(targetDirectory)
For Each DirName In MyDirs
ProcessDirectory(DirName)
Next
End Sub
------------------------------------------------------
