Renaming files via C++ ; Is it possible ?

[Andycapp]

Background:
I'm currently working with scanning images on to tif-files. The only problem is that once I've finished scanning a book, I need to rename each file with the ending "_001". This due to the software which will be processing these images afterwards.

So I thought I might make a c++ program which does this for me since I could save ten minutes on this.

So the basic problem is :

I've already managed to read each file name into a string and there I can manipulate it, but how do I rename the current file with this new filename ?

Any help greatly appreciated !

You can do this with a simple dos command:

Click on the Start Menu, go MS-DOS prompt then type in

cd (path to your files)
rename *.* *_001.tif

You will probably need to play around with this but that is basicaly what you need to do
