File renaming question

[Josan12]

I have a general question for anyone who can help me:

Can someone recomend a program or technique for renaming
a large number of files in reverse order?

My problem is that i have hundreds and hundreds of edited
frames (for the NPC armour mod) that i need to rename
in reverse numerical order. For example, in a folder of 5
files named XXXXX00, XXXXX01, XXXXX02, XXXXXX03, XXXXXX04
i need XXXX00 to become XXXXX04 and so on. I've already
tried some of the common file renaming programs
such as Filewrangler and they dont seem to be able
to do it. Ideally it would be able to runs under OSX
but if i have to use a windows program i can run it
under Virtual PC.

Can't you do it by renaming them in non-reverse order twice?

It looks like FileWrangler and R-Name actually can both do it, as long as there are no gaps in the numbering. If there are, you'd have to split it into contiguous subgroups. A bit easier in R-Name, since you can initially sort in reverse order; you have to use a step size of -1 in FileWrangler.

Right on Kanhef. I'll take a look at
that and post how it goes. Thanks man.

I used to use "Lupas Rename" which seemed to work fine for me, probably a newer better version out by now

Looks like you can't do it directly, since there's the issue of potentially conflicting filenames, so you'll need to rename them to a different range temporarily. Examples:
FileWrangler step 1
FileWrangler step 2
R-Name step 1
R-Name step 2

I use KRename, it can do almost everything (with built-in simple functions, place holders, regexp editor, etc) but I bet it's Linux only.

Thanks guys. Kanhef solved it for me with
this awseome step-by-step for Filewrangler.
Thanks Kanhef!
