sequential-rename 1.0.4

A small package for sequentially renaming files with the same name.

Sequentially Rename Files

A small rename function I created to handle documents that have the same file name during automated copy jobs. This function will allow the files to be copied by just appending a (#) to the end of the file name similar to how file systems do so. You need to pass the new directory, current file name, and the files extension and the function will return the new name with (#) if no file with the same name already exists.

If 'test.csv' exists, then the new name would become 'test (1).csv'. This would also continue increasing the number if the new names already exist: 'test (1).csv', 'test (2).csv', 'test (3).csv', etc.
