Changing Directorise Using DOS

[Masogir]

Since all of the steamid's have changed from STEAM_0* to STEAM_1*, is anybody up to the task of creating a batch file which changes the name of multiple directories? I have hundreds of folders in my server's advanced duplicator that need to be changed and I'm just too lazy to change them all by hand.

The DOS command REN or RENAME only works for files (Not folders).

I know this isn't a DOS help forum, but come on... somebody here has to know DOS.... PB?

[ahref]

EDIT: Wait what steam ids haven't changed?

lua could do this and i could do it in php

There are programs to do that; google: "batch folder rename"
example freeware: How To Get All Files Tree | THE Rename reviews and free downloads

i got fed up with downloading free trials of renamers so coded my own little one in php
it uses a folder listing function from PHP - List Of Folders | DreamInCode.net
you'll need php ofcourse :

<?php
function folderlist(){
  $startdir = './';
  $ignoredDirectory[] = '.';
  $ignoredDirectory[] = '..';
   if (is_dir($startdir)){
       if ($dh = opendir($startdir)){
           while (($folder = readdir($dh)) !== false){
               if (!(array_search($folder,$ignoredDirectory) > -1)){
                 if (filetype($startdir . $folder) == "dir"){
                       $directorylist[$startdir . $folder]['name'] = $folder;
                       $directorylist[$startdir . $folder]['path'] = $startdir;
                   }
               }
           }
           closedir($dh);
       }
   }
return($directorylist);
}

$folders = folderlist();
  foreach ($folders as $folder){
    $path = $folder['path'];
    $name = $folder['name'];
	if (strpos($name,"STEAM")) {
		$rename = explode("_",$name);
		array_shift($rename);
		array_shift($rename);
		echo("STEAM_1"."_".$rename[0]."_".$rename[1]);
		rename($name,"STEAM_1"."_".$rename[0]."_".$rename[1]);
	}
  }
?>

just place it in the adv duplicator folder . for php people i realise theres better ways to do this but i had to write this at 4am
