Rename files in a directory
file_rename.py lists all files in a specified directory [source_directory] . Separates the file extension from the file name[file_extension] . If the file extensions are not includes in the exclusion list, then renames the files with the original file extension into another specified directory [destination_directory] . The new file name is based on enumerator [my_enumerator] , formated date [day_formated] , time [time_formated] and original file extension [file_extension]
To use this scrip
1. Edit source_directory variable with your own directory path where the files you wish to be renamed are located.
source_directory = "your Source Directory Path"
2. Edit destination_directory variable with your own directory path where the renamed files will be saved.
destination_directory = "your Destination Directory Path"
3. If you would like to modify the exclusion file list edit the extensions after != :
if file_extension != '.ini' and '.txt':
4. Run the script
Notes
If you would like to turn the "exclude" list into an "include" list, change != to ==:
if file_extension == '.doc' and '.pdf'
This will only move/rename files ending in '.doc' and '.pdf' in the source_directory
