I have made the code which renames all the jpg files in a directory from 1 to n (number of files).. if there were let say 50 jpg files that after running the program all the files are renamed to 1.jpg ,2.jpg and so on till 50.jpg But i am facing the problem if I manually rename the file let say 50.jpg to aaa.jpg then again running the program doesn't rename that file I have wasted one day to resove that issue Kindly help me Code:
public class Renaming {
private static String path; // string for storing the path
public static void main(String[] args) {
FileReader fileReader = null; // filereader for opening the file
BufferedReader bufferedReader = null; // buffered reader for buffering the data of file
try{
fileReader = new FileReader("input.txt"); // making the filereader object and paasing the file name
bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(fileReader); //making the buffered Reader object
path=bufferedReader.readLine();
fileReader.close();
bufferedReader.close();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e) { // Exception when file is not found
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IOException e) { // IOException
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
File directory=new File(path);
File[] files= directory.listFiles(); // Storing the all the files in Array
int file_counter=1;
for(int file_no=0;file_no<files.length;file_no++){
String Extension=getFileExtension(files[file_no]); //getting the filw extension
if (files[file_no].isFile() && (Extension .equals("jpg")|| Extension.equals("JPG"))){ // checking that if file is of jpg type then apply renaming // checking thaat if it is file
File new_file = new File(path+"\\"+files[file_no].getName()); //making the new file
new_file.renameTo(new File(path+"\\"+String.valueOf(file_no+1)+".jpg")); //Renaming the file
System.out.println(new_file.toString());
file_counter++; // incrementing the file counter
}
}
}
}
private static String getFileExtension(File file) { //utility function for getting the file extension
String name = file.getName();
try {
return name.substring(name.lastIndexOf(".") + 1); // gettingf the extension name after .
} catch (Exception e) {
return "";
}
}`
first of all, you should use the path separator / . It's work on Windows, Linux and Mac OS. This is my version of your problem to rename all files into a folder provide. Hope this will help you. I use last JDK version to speed up and reduce the code.
public class App {
private String path = null;
public static int index = 1;
public App(String path){
if (Files.isDirectory(Paths.get( path ))) {
this.path = path;
}
}
public void rename() throws IOException{
if ( this.path != null){
Files.list(Paths.get( this.path ))
.forEach( f ->
{
String fileName = f.getFileName().toString();
String extension = fileName.replaceAll("^.*\\.([^.]+)$", "$1");
try {
Files.move( f ,Paths.get( this.path + "/" + App.index + "." + extension));
App.index++;
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
);
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
App app = new App("c:/Temp/");
app.rename();
}
}
