Renaming Folders - Zinc 2.5

[ThrashBoy]

ok so ive had zinc 2.5 for ages and barely use flash much anymore.
i was organizing the folders of pictures ive taken on my camera on my computer before, and i decided that i would create a flash application to change all the folder names.
I have hundreds of folders with subjects on them containing sub folders that are called when the pictures in that folder were taken, except in the format DD-MM-YYYY which is ugly and hard to read, and doesnt get sorted in order.

what i mean is i want to convert a folder thats called this:
7-2-2008
which would be February 7th, 2008 to a format like this:
2008, February 7th

I figured that would be fairly easy to do with flash 8 and Zinc 2.5, which it would be, except i cant find the folder rename function anywhere in the Zinc 2.5 help index. I cant even find a file rename thing.
Can Zinc 2.5 even rename folders/files?
if so, some help would be appreciated!

i dont really want to go and purchase some other program just to make this application

much thanks in advance!

If you can use Zinc to get a file list then you can run through the file list in Flash and create a BAT file on the fly (for each folder) that does the renaming for you and just run that BAT file. That's probably the easiest solution if you're not a regular Zinc user and can't find or remember the right command (assuming they had one).

thats an excellent idea! thanks for the help.

i dont think they do have a command. its not written anywhere in the help section.

Hi,

Try FileSystem.getFileList()

use instead .bat

var StdOut = mdm.System.execStdOut("cmd /c move Folder new_Folder");
