Hi, I have a batch files which converts some images using image magick. It does a small amount of renaming already, however, It would be really useful if it could append an incrementing number. This is what I have so far:
:RUN_PRODUCT mkdir products cd products mkdir small mkdir large cd ../ for %%f IN (*.jpg) do convert %%f -strip -resize 150x150 -quality 70 products/small/%%f for %%f IN (*.jpg) do convert %%f -strip -resize 600x600 -quality 95 products/large/%%~Nf_LRG.jpg goto start
I would ideally like to insert the 2 digit incremental prior to the _LRG part of the name, so have blah_01_LRG.jpg, blah_02_LRG.jpg etc.

Start your batch by coding
@Echo Off SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
then
Set index=0 for %%f IN (*.jpg) do ( Set /A index+=1 If !index! lss 10 Set index=0!index! Set index=_!index! convert %%f -strip -resize 600x600 -quality 95 products/large/%%~Nf!index!_LRG.jpg Set index=!index:_0=! Set index=!index:_=! )

Note that the solution won't work in Windows 9x,ME, or DOS.
All the OSes I use: Windows XP, Windows 98, MS-DOS 6.22, OpenBSD 2.6, DLX Linux. I have 4 computers, one of which is emulated.
