Hello

I have a sequence of files with scrambled numbers and I need to batch convert it to a new ordered sequence of files with number padding(e.g: frame0017, frame01, frame012 -> frame001, frame002, frame003).

Any ideas of what parameter/variable is used to create a padded sequence number in Houdini Command Line?

This is what I have so far:

for %i in (*.*) do ren %i newname%XXXX%~xi

I am trying various syntax in %XXXX as I can't find the padded sequence option.

Any ideas or tips are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

i used this little utility called lupaz rename
