replace text in url field

[Thomas J McGrath III]

Hi Bob,

I don't remember but I do know you can take the original name apart and 
add your own name to it.

This is not real code syntax but shows the idea:

put (name of folder) into myfolderVar
fix the directory to this one
load the directory  files into mydirVar
now you have name of folder and list of files
now
repeat with x = 1 to num lines of mydirVar
delete char 1 to ? of line x of mydirVar
put "Image"& x  before line x of mydirVar
end repeat
now you have a new name for each image based on the number of lines.

you could put the num lines into a global and add to that for the x 
naming
or you could put a time or special name to each image

Or in your case
you might just want to use the same name and the "if there is a" to 
check the file already exists and if so add a 1 to it and if that 
exists than add a 2 etc. this is a lot less coding and then you can 
ignore all of the other issues.
1raw***.pic
2raw***.pic
etc.
  or add the long time before each with no punctuation in it
31801raw***.pic

OR even better
set the twelveHourTime to false
put the dateTime into mytime
set the twelveHourTime to true

put mytime before line x of myDirVar

now each item should??? be different

There may be an even better way???
