replace file name script

[bk89]

I have a list of jpg files such as:

1.jpg
2.jpg
3.jpg

etc.

I want to replace ALL of these jpg files with defaultimage.jpg but I want the files to still be named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, and 3.jpg etc. All that is changing is the contents of each file will now be defaultimage.jpg but still named the original name.

Does anyone have a script that does this?

There have been many posts about renaming files. Just search the fora.

I have searched. None deal with replacing an image with its original file name still in tact.

They do, you just need to take the time to understand what they are doing. What have you written so far?

Well, to be honest with you what you need to be looking for is code that deals with copying files not renaming because here is the pseudo code for what you want to do if I understand the question:

For each file name in a list
Copy DefaultImage.jpg to File name overwriting the current contents
