Sequential numbering from 1 to ten
Hi I am in a bind, I need create a script that will rename files as they come into a folder with sequential numbering at the begining starting at 1 and proceeding to ten then starting at 1 again. Such as 1_filename.pdf, 2_filename.pdf, 3_filename.pdf, 4_filename.pdf, 5_filename.pdf, 6_filename.pdf, 7_filename.pdf, 8_filename.pdf, 9_filename.pdf, 10_filename.pdf it has to continue as long as new files are entering the folder. I was thinking of using a while loop to do this. but its late and my brains are shutting off.
Any help would be much appreciated
