there is 2 ways to do this .. either its a private dir for only those files then you can use glob other wize you can make a list and use foreach..

Code:

#setting the filename ur about to changeset filename "yourfile,file2,file3"#bind time   bind time - "00 00 00 ?? *" file_rename#proc-name     proc file_rename {min hour day month year} {  global filename  foreach {x} [split $filename \x2C] {    file rename $x $x.[clock format [clock seconds] -format {%B}]; #tolower %B if u want short month name  }}

Code:

#setting the pathset path "/path/to/private/dir"#bind time   bind time - "00 00 00 ?? *" file_rename#proc-name     proc file_rename {min hour day month year} {  global path  foreach {x} [glob -nocomplain -types f -directory $path *] {    file rename $x $x.[clock format [clock seconds] -format {%B}]; #tolower %B if u want short month name  }}

first method will rename every file you provide in that list ..

second method will rename every file in that directory..

to move em to an other dir check out file rename as mentioned above by changing the target path..

file rename ?-force? ?- -? source target

file rename ?-force? ?- -? source ?source ...? targetDir

The first form takes the file or directory specified by pathname source and renames it to target, moving the file if the pathname target specifies a name in a different directory. If target is an existing directory, then the second form is used. The second form moves each source file or directory into the directory targetDir. Existing files will not be overwritten unless the -force option is specified. When operating inside a single filesystem, Tcl will rename symbolic links rather than the things that they point to. Trying to overwrite a non-empty directory, overwrite a directory with a file, or a file with a directory will all result in errors. Arguments are processed in the order specified, halting at the first error, if any. A - - marks the end of switches; the argument following the - - will be treated as a source even if it starts with a -.

no, 1 rename command and it renames 3a4 files

"3a4" files? 3 or 4 files?

the [file rename] command operates on multiple files only to move the whole pack to another directory

so, why wouldn't you want to use multiple rename commands, as many as needed?
