Renaming WAV Files in a Folder

Spot on. Yes, there is a rule. I just realized it. On downloading the WAV files from the server I noticed 2 things that will need to be incorporated in the code. They are:

1). In most cases my server is downloading 2 copies of the same file with exactly the same name up to this point 732913 2014-06-05 08_45_54 2345654321 -_ 14155952184 i.e. excluding the ID_16184365.wav last bit of the original file name (732913 2014-06-05 08_45_54 2345654321 -_ 14155952184 ID_16184365.wav) - In these cases, I'll only like to copy and rename one of the files.

2). Wherever there are more iterations of the same unique ID (as in the case you pointed out). I would like the code to rename and copy the unique file for that as well. To cite an example:

Unique ID:

• 732913 2014-06-05 08_45_54 2345654321 -_ 14155952184 ID_16184365.wav – Time is 08:45:54
• 732913 2014-06-05 08_45_54 2345654321 -_ 14155952184 ID_16184367.wav – Time is 08:45:54
• 732913 2014-06-05 09_21_54 2345654321 -_ 14155952184 ID_16184368.wav – Time is 09:13:13
• 732913 2014-06-05 09_21_54 2345654321 -_ 14155952184 ID_16184375.wav – Time is 09:13:13

I would like 2 files to be copied and renamed as follows:

• 65084554_Rich Craft
• 65091313_Rich Craft

Please let me know if I don’t make any sense!
