How to rename a file to include day of the week

How to rename a file to include day of the week

Q: I found this in your blog but my filename pattern is different and I don’t know enough of the Pascal language to edit it.

Here is an example of what I would like to rename.

Original Filename: 2023-10-24_section_A2.pdf
(2023-10-24 = October 24, 2023)
Rename To:  Tues_2023-10-24_section_A2.pdf

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

A: Please have a look at the following example, I guess we need to fine-tune it. Let us know what you think.

  • We used a Windows folder as source:

limagito file mover windows folder as source

  • Next, open our Pascal Script option:

limagito file mover paascal script option

  • Enable and add the following ‘On Destination’ Pascal Script:
