I have the following script to rename the files in a directory and add a 1,2,3, etc to the end of the file. I want the number to be in the format of filenamedate-1.tif, filenamedate-2.tif, etc. When I run the script, the first file adds a hyphen at the end of the filename with no number after it, such as filenamedate-.tif.
Is there a way to start with the -1 on the first file? If not, can I prevent the "-" from appearing at the end of the first filename?
Here's what I have so far:
$folder = "U:\test\"
$dir = dirplus($folder,"/a-d /f tif")
$date = Trim(Join(Split(@DATE,'/'),'-'))
For Each $file In $dir
$file.Move($folder + "AND" + $date + "-" + $i + ".tif")
? @SERROR
$1 = 1
Next

I do net get your code totally but I think you forget to give an initial value to $i and afterwards you forget to add 1 to $i in every loop you make
something like:
$folder = "U:\test\"
$Dir = dirplus($folder,"/a-d /f tif")
$i = 1
$date = Trim(Join(Split(@DATE,'/'),'-'))
For Each $file In $Dir
$file.Move($folder + "AND" + $date + "-" + $i + ".tif")
? @SERROR
$i = $i + 1
Next

You're right. I was cleaning up my code a little when posting and deleted the wrong line. You're suggestion is what I have, but I still have the same issue.

Sorry for the confusion.
$folder = "U:\test"
$dir = dirplus($folder,"/a-d /f tif")
$date = Trim(Join(Split(@DATE,'/'),'-'))
For Each $file In $dir
$file.Move($folder + "\AND" + $date + "-" + $i + ".tif")
? @SERROR
$i = $i+1
Next

You are not initializing the variable "$i" before its first use.

What do you mean by "initialize"? Are you talking about doing:
"Dim $i" at the top of the script
