I hope this helps.

If I left anything out, or if you have any more problems or questions, please ask.

This is fantastic Lewis. Your instructions were absolutely clear, and I was able to run the script easily today

I've been testing this throughout the day, and will continue doing so over the next 2-days. Your script is awesome. Its just my WAV files that are coming out of the server in different ways. I'm trying to find out all possible scenarios that I might encounter.

From today's testing, I have few observations. If these could be appended it would help a lot in testing and in real scenario too:

  1. All renamed .WAV files should go into a single folder - Currently, a separate sub-folder is getting created for each
  2. As there are multiple files with exactly the same name to this point: 732913 2014-06-05 08_45_54 2345654321 -_ 14155952184 (excluding the ID_16184365.wav). Would it be possible to move the files that have exactly the same name to this point (732913 2014-06-05 08_45_54 2345654321 -_ 14155952184) before running the final command to a new folder, and keep only 1 “Unique” WAV file for processing the naming?
  3. I would like the original files to stay as they are in the Wav File Folder - Currently, they tend to get deleted after I run the script


Thanks for all the help!

Thanks and regards,
