I'm looking for a batch script or a VBScript that will read the first few lines of text of a file and if match a string of text specified then rename the file or files to a specific file name. I want to be able to run the script from anywhere, i.e C:\Scripts. The path to the source files is C:\Files. Once the file or files are renamed, they must be moved to C:\Reports and deleted from C:\Files. The file or files are not in any file format specific so the file format must be left alone. I also like to have the option to add additional search and rename option in case there are new files. Finally the script must loop until all files are renamed and moved. DIRECTORIES: Script Directory C:\Scripts Source Directory C:\Files Destination Directory C:\Reports What the script must do: If found "NOTICE OF PAST DUE PAYMENT on MM/DD/YYYY for Account 123 Loan 0005" then rename file to "DQ Notice" If found "NOTICE OF ATM WITHDRAW on MM/DD/YYYY for Account 123 Checking 0005" then rename file to "ATM Notice" If found "NOTICE OF OVERDRAWN on MM/DD/YYYY for Account 123 Checking 0005" then rename file to "Overdraft Notice" Ability to add additional line

Dear Sir, My first 2 projects were regarding the same kind of projects. I have been in this industry for 8 years and such jobs are my daily practice. This is my first time on this site and hence you can see that I do not have only 2 ratings/testimonials to show you. I can assure you that if you work with me once, you will always work with me for these kinds of projects. I can do this for you with a VB script code with all the requirement that you wants. It will be with a good interface or we will make it DYNAMIC so that it runs as per your configuration and you dont need any developer help in future for any changes. My Project plan about this is - Create a script - UNIT testing - Another round of full testing - Delivered the project to you Don’t worries I will give you the support for free of cost for any kind of issues. If you will give me a chance, I promise you that my work will always make you happy with excellent keys. Thanks, Maulik

This can be done with simple batch script, but there's something that isn't clear. If we rename some file to only "DQ Notice" what to do if there's already such file in "C:\Reports" folder? Should file be overwritten or file name should contain something more than just "DQ Notice"? Please contact me if you are interested.

Hello This is something I can easily wrote for you using Windows PowerShell scripting language. It will take a few hours to work out the logic but I can probably have it ready in a day. Please reach out to discuss the details. Thanks Callum

I read your project brief. I can write a VBScript script for you that will allow you to programmatically rename the files based on the text criteria you specify. Technical details ============== For programmatically reading and writing files I'll use the FileSystemObject and Shell object of the Windows OS and for searching for specific text patterns in the file I'll use Regular Expressions support in VBScript. About me ======== I'm a Software Developer and Sys Admin. I have experience in writing VBScript code for system automation including programmatically renaming files based on certain criteria. If you would like to discuss your project with me then feel free to send me a message even when I'm offline. I usually respond within a few minutes when online and within a few hours when offline.

Hi there, I can do this project pretty easily using Python and regular expressions, and the end result can be whatever you like (a .bat file, a .exe file, a Python script, etc.). Can we discuss details via chat please? Price is negiotable. I can do this fast as well (< 1 day) and it will work for any directory you wish.
