XML refactoring for changing file names to match ID

Post by psbentley »

Hi folks,

I need to rename a bunch of files (like 4000) to have the file name match the ID of the file. It's a complicated story, but if I pull these out of the repository to rename and then reupload, the maps won't automatically update and I'm not sure where all these files are used.

Does anyone know how I could use XML refactoring for this? I've tried reverse-engineering the XML refactoring xquery for changing the ID to match the file name but so far no luck.

Thanks in advance,
Peyton

Dear Peyton,

The XML Refactoring feature in Oxygen allows you to internally change XML documents, not to modify the file names of the XML documents.
So I do not have a solution for you using Oxygen utilities, you will probably need to build some custom processing using a programming language or some custom scripting. Maybe you can google for "change file name depending on content".

Regards,
Radu
