Auto-Rename Word Doc Script

Job ID: 37795811

Budget: $10 – $50 AUD

I'm looking for a skilled developer who can create a script or application to automatically rename multiple Word documents based on specific content found within each document. This project requires a focus on efficiency and accuracy to ensure files are named correctly with little to no manual intervention needed.


The program needs to iterate through a given folder path.

Look at sub folders and find word documents that ARE NOT numerical named.

12321 123.doc

If it finds a file named.

Test.doc

Then open it, look for 'Report No' and get the string after that eg. 9084607 -10607

Remove dashes and spaces and rename the word document to the report number.



**Key Requirements:**
- Develop a script/application to automatically rename Word documents.
- The renaming should be based on a specific line of text within the document.
- The solution must be developed in VB.NET (.NET framework).

**Ideal Skills and Experience:**
- Strong proficiency in VB.NET and experience with the .NET framework.
- Experience with Office Interop or other relevant libraries for managing Word documents programmatically.
- Ability to handle file management operations (e.g., reading file names, creating, and renaming files) efficiently.
- Familiarity with text parsing and manipulation to accurately locate and extract specific lines within documents.
- Problem-solving skills to deal with potential exceptions or unforeseen issues during the renaming process..
