ReNamer:Pascal Script

The PascalScript Rule in ReNamer uses Pascal Script. To exploit the full power of ReNamer, you will have to-

1. Learn the basic Pascal script syntax (see this excellent tutorial)
2. Learn the specific variables, procedures and functions that are defined within ReNamer (see links in REFERENCE section below).
   

A few quick tips:

• The FileName variable represents the New Name of the File.
  Therefore Pascal script manipulates this variable to change the filename.
• The FilePath constant holds the original path of 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 (create new folders, move files, etc.). So use them with caution!
