Hi. Would like to know how to increment a
filename. ie. file.txt to file01.txt, file02.txt, file03.txt
etc. It's the same file with different names. Thanks.

Do you want to make copies or rename or what?

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

I suppose rename will destroy, but I need to keep
all copies, so copy it is. Thanks.

Thanks, looks easy now. Is this the only way even
if you need to make ~70 copies?

I would like to incrment the file extension at different times. When the file is created at 1:30 as <filename>.txt it could be renamed as <filename>.001. Then, when the file is created at 2:00 as <filename>.txt again it could be renamed as <filename>.002, etc...
Any ideas?
