ReNamer:Pascal Script

The PascalScript Rule in ReNamer uses Pascal Script. To exploit the full power of ReNamer, you will have to know basic pascal scripting.and then learn how to use it in ReNamer.

• The basic Pascal script syntax is covered in this excellent tutorial.
• The specific variables, procedures and functions that are defined within ReNamer are explained in this article

A few quick tips:

• Changes to the FileName variable will be treated as changes to the New Name of the File.
• The FilePath constant holds the original path to the file. It allows you to access the file directly.
  
• ReNamer supports UDFs (User-Defined Functions) and also importing of external functions from DLLs.
• All manipulations with the FileName variable should be done using Unicode functions, i.e. WideString type should be used instead of an ordinary String type. This will allow ReNamer to handle filenames in non-English scripts (Cyrillic, Asian, German, French, etc.)
  

Warning: Do not override ReNamer's built-in variables, types and functions. Warning: Some of the functions are able to alter your file system, so use them with caution!
