I wanted to change all my .gif files under my folder(include all the gif files in all sub folders) automatically naming from Figure1.gif to Figure10.gif( the maximum number will be given) Because I have lots of gif files so I wanted to write a Delphi program for doing this as a exercise. I'm learing this language myself. If anyone could show me some simple code to do this I would really appreciate.
Thanks!
 
In Delphi you can simply use the RenameFile function:


EG

Code:
if not RenameFile('IMAGE1.GIF', 'IMAGE01.GIF') then
   ErrorMsg('Error renaming file!');

A simple way to find the files in sub folders is to
use a combination of the 'filesearch' function and a directory outline component (samples page).
The Items.strings[X] property holds the folder names.
Loop through these these to get your folders/sub folders
and use filesearch to locate the files in each.
