VBScript. Move a file and rename it with increment if exists - vbscript

I'm trying to create a vbscript that moves files from one directory to another, that increments the filename if the file allready exists. I.e. if file.ext exists, new filename is file_01.ext. If file_01.ext exists, new filename is file_02.ext, and so on. I can't get it to work. Any help would be very much appreciated.

As I can't understand your script at all, I'll concentrate on the the task "build a new file name by incrementing a counter". Obviously you have to check for each file whether there is a file with the same name or this name + suffix in the destination folder. The answer to this question for file a is completely independent of all files in the source folder - so I doubt your array makes any sense.
In code:
Const cnMax = 3
Dim goFS : Set goFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim oSrcDir : Set oSrcDir = goFS.GetFolder("..\testdata\FancyRename\from")
Dim sDstDir : sDstDir = "..\testdata\FancyRename\to"
Dim oFile, nInc, sNFSpec
For Each oFile In oSrcDir.Files
WScript.Echo "looking at", oFile.Name
nInc = 0
sNFSpec = getNewFSpec(oFile.Name, sDstDir, nInc)
Do While goFS.FileExists(sNFSpec) And nInc <= cnMax
sNFSpec = getNewFSpec(oFile.Name, sDstDir, nInc)
Loop
If nInc > cnMax Then
WScript.Echo "won't copy to", sNFSpec
Else
WScript.Echo "will copy to ", sNFSpec
oFile.Copy sNFSpec
End If
Next
Function getNewFSpec(ByVal sFName, sDstDir, ByRef nInc)
If 0 < nInc Then
Dim sSfx
sSfx = goFS.GetExtensionName(sFName)
If "" <> sSfx Then sSfx = "." & sSfx
sSfx = "_" & Right("00" & nInc, 2) & sSfx
sFName = goFS.GetBaseName(sFName) & sSfx
End If
nInc = nInc + 1
getNewFSpec = goFS.BuildPath(sDstDir, sFName)
End Function
some sample output:
looking at B.txt
will copy to ..\testdata\FancyRename\to\B.txt
looking at C.txt
will copy to ..\testdata\FancyRename\to\C.txt
looking at A.txt
will copy to ..\testdata\FancyRename\to\A.txt

Sync outlook messages with vbscript

I have a vbscript that copy's Outlook 2003 messages into a folder in msg format.
The problems are:

You need to truncate the file name appropriately (strName)
Move your code that processes a folder into a sub that take fodler that takes folder as parameter and call it for ofChosenFolder as well as all of its child fodlers in the ofChosenFolder.Folders collection.
You are calling SaveAs..., 3 - 3 here is olMsg. Specify olTxt (= 0).
Off the top of my head:
Const olFolderInbox = 6
Set ofChosenFolder = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
trSavePath = "c:\test\"
ProcessFolder ofChosenFolder, trSavePath
sub ProcessFolder(folder, path)

Using VBS to Backup a file

I managed to find this script to use and backup my files, this is a little more complicated then I need it to be.
I do not need to enter a backup path - from and too every time I run it however this is a handy option for other projects but I would like to backup from a set file path and save to a set file path to save time.
The other issue with this script is the Cancel button does not work, this is an issue I have had before and fixed but I cannot remember how to make the Cancel button function.

Looking for a VBScript to move files older than 3 years to a new folder while keeping the folder structure

I am looking to move files from my file server to a tape drive to save space. I need a script that will allow me to move all the files that were accessed 3 years ago or later while still keeping their folder structure.
E.g. d:\share\it\test.txt -> d:\archive\share\it\test.txt, assuming the test.txt file hasn't been accessed in 3 years
I will then run a tape backup over this folder.
I have some scripts that I have been using. The most effective one I have used is this one, but tt doesn't recreate the file structure in the test folder :

What I need to do is run this against a bunch of folders, within C:\Pictures, and have it return all files where the Date Taken property of the photo is the 23rd of the month. Is this possible? How would I achieve this?
Thanks
I'd use the Shell.Application object instead of WMI:
Const Name = 0
Const DateTaken = 12
folderPath = "C:\Pictures"
Set re = New RegExp
re.Pattern = "[^0-9:./ ]"
re.Global = True
Traverse CreateObject("Shell.Application").Namespace(folderPath)
Sub Traverse(fldr)
For Each obj In fldr.Items
If obj.IsFolder Then
Traverse obj.GetFolder
ElseIf LCase(obj.Type) = "jpeg image" Then
If Day(re.Replace(fldr.GetDetailsOf(obj, DateTaken), "")) = 23 Then
WScript.Echo fldr.GetDetailsOf(obj, Name)
End If

VBScript to Move files with particular extension

I currently have a VBscript that scans a folder for files and moves the files to particular folders depending on key words in the file name.
I need currently the script only scans the one level (ie. doesn't scan recursively) and I need to to search all sub folders too.
Can someone give me a hand with this?
EDIT: Since writing this script I have realized that I need to have this only move files with particular extensions from a particular folder and sub folders to other directories based on the file name.
For example I need only .mp4 and .avi files to be moved.
Can someone help me with this please? I have tried multiple things but still can't get the recursive scanning and moving or the extension specific moving working.
Below is my current script.
