Thanks Oleg!I have changed it around here somewhat.My question/problem is if I have more than one file in there it does not work. Can you help?It works fine on first file and renames and moves the first file. I would like for it to loop back and change the other names but my copy file command seems to be grabbing all files after 1st one is name changed.here is what I have.;**********************;* RoboTask Task file *;* Do not edit! *;********************** [Root]ActionAfterRun=INTEGER|0Actions=FOLDERAutomat=INTEGER|0CatID=INTEGER|0ContinueOnError=INTEGER|0ExternalName=STRING|"Task21"Hide=INTEGER|0ID=INTEGER|1069012521Name=STRING|"Copy of Genarate new name (imported)"Priority=INTEGER|3RunOnClose=INTEGER|0RunOnStartup=INTEGER|0ToLog=INTEGER|3[Actions]Action1=FOLDERAction10=FOLDERAction11=FOLDERAction12=FOLDERAction13=FOLDERAction2=FOLDERAction3=FOLDERAction4=FOLDERAction5=FOLDERAction6=FOLDERAction7=FOLDERAction8=FOLDERAction9=FOLDER[Actions\Action1]ActionID=STRING|"A_LOOP_FILE"Enabled=INTEGER|-1Name=STRING|"File Loop"Params=FOLDER[Actions\Action1\Params]createmode=STRING|"1"date1=STRING|"20070821"date2=STRING|"20070821"destvar=STRING|"FILENAME"DuringDays=STRING|"1"DuringMonths=STRING|"1"file0=STRING|"H:\switchnamesfiles\*.*"filecount=STRING|"1"OlderDays=STRING|"1"OlderMonths=STRING|"1"savesize=STRING|"0"searchkind=STRING|"0"subdirs=STRING|"1"timesize=STRING|"0"WithoutPath=STRING|"0"[Actions\Action10]ActionID=STRING|"A_LOOP_END"Enabled=INTEGER|-1Name=STRING|"End Loop"[Actions\Action11]ActionID=STRING|"A_VARIABLES_REMOVE"Enabled=INTEGER|-1Name=STRING|"Remove variable ""FILENAME"""Params=FOLDER[Actions\Action11\Params]varname=STRING|"FILENAME"[Actions\Action12]ActionID=STRING|"A_VARIABLES_REMOVE"Enabled=INTEGER|-1Name=STRING|"Remove variable ""VAR1"""Params=FOLDER[Actions\Action12\Params]varname=STRING|"VAR1"[Actions\Action13]ActionID=STRING|"A_VARIABLES_REMOVE"Enabled=INTEGER|-1Name=STRING|"Remove variable ""VAR2"""Params=FOLDER[Actions\Action13\Params]varname=STRING|"VAR2"[Actions\Action2]ActionID=STRING|"A_DIALOG_MESSAGE"Enabled=INTEGER|0Name=STRING|"Show ""Old file name is:"""Params=FOLDER[Actions\Action2\Params]icon=STRING|"1"msg0=STRING|"Old file name is:"msg1=STRING|"{filename}"msgcount=STRING|"2"playsound=STRING|"0"showmessage=STRING|"1"[Actions\Action3]ActionID=STRING|"A_VARIABLES_DELIMITED"Enabled=INTEGER|-1Name=STRING|"Delimited Variable"Params=FOLDER[Actions\Action3\Params]colon=STRING|"0"comma=STRING|"0"other=STRING|"1"otherchar=STRING|"-"quote=STRING|"0"semocolon=STRING|"0"space=STRING|"0"spaceasone=STRING|"0"string=STRING|"{ExtractFileName({filename})}"tab=STRING|"0"variable=STRING|"var1"[Actions\Action4]ActionID=STRING|"A_VARIABLES_SET"Enabled=INTEGER|-1Name=STRING|"Set variable ""VAR2"" with value ""{var1(0)}"""Params=FOLDER[Actions\Action4\Params]expand=STRING|"1"varname=STRING|"VAR2"varvalue=STRING|"{var1(0)}"[Actions\Action5]ActionID=STRING|"A_VARIABLES_SET"Enabled=INTEGER|-1Name=STRING|"Set variable ""FILENAME"" with value ""{var2(1)}, {var2(0)} - {var1(1)}"""Params=FOLDER[Actions\Action5\Params]expand=STRING|"1"varname=STRING|"FILENAME"varvalue=STRING|"{var2(1)}, {var2(0)} - {var1(1)}"[Actions\Action6]ActionID=STRING|"A_DIALOG_MESSAGE"Enabled=INTEGER|0Name=STRING|"Show ""New file name is:"""Params=FOLDER[Actions\Action6\Params]icon=STRING|"1"msg0=STRING|"New file name is:"msg1=STRING|"{filename}"msgcount=STRING|"2"playsound=STRING|"0"showmessage=STRING|"1"[Actions\Action7]ActionID=STRING|"A_FILE_RENAME"Enabled=INTEGER|-1Name=STRING|"Rename File"Params=FOLDER[Actions\Action7\Params]count=STRING|"1"file0=STRING|"{filename}"mask=STRING|"{var2(1)}, {var2(0)} - {var1(1)}"subdirs=STRING|"1"[Actions\Action8]ActionID=STRING|"A_GENERAL_PAUSE"Enabled=INTEGER|-1Name=STRING|"Delay 1000 ms"Params=FOLDER[Actions\Action8\Params]delay=STRING|"10"[Actions\Action9]ActionID=STRING|"A_FILE_COPY"Enabled=INTEGER|-1Name=STRING|"Copy/Move File"Params=FOLDER[Actions\Action9\Params]destdir=STRING|"H:\z individual files to be sorted\"f_count=STRING|"1"file0=STRING|"H:\switchnamesfiles\*.*"ifexists=STRING|"0"move=STRING|"1"subdir=STRING|"0"

I think that you need to remove 5-th step (Set variable "FILENAME" with value "{var2(1)}, {var2(0)} - {var1(1)}")
Also, maybe you need to move the step "Copy/Move File" to outside of the loop.

Hey Olegg thanks! Two more questions if I could , some files have a second "-" in them. Example Merle Pendos - Dang I need to know how to program - cause I have not done it in 20 years.txtThis cause it to break with error.The second question would be what about files that do not have a "-" in them? Example Merle Pendos Dang I need to know how to program.txtOR if not possible to do these two easily, can you think of a simple
way to have it move the file (to another folder) where either of the
two conditions occurs? As always thanks so much.
