macOS Looking for someone to help me convert a short .bat file to AppleScript

[Grahf]

I'm not very savy in programming, but its a relatively short code so hopefully someone can help me out. Anyways:

rename sonny-2.swf sonny-2-ver-2-2.swf
rename sonny-2-ver-1-1.swf sonny-2.swf

rename sonny-2.swf sonny-2-ver-1-1.swf
rename sonny-2-ver-2-2.swf sonny-2.swf

Are those two different bat files? cause the 2nd code block reverses what the first one does.

 

[Grahf]

Yes, they are. Sorry I didn't specify.

Instead of rename, use mv.

 

[Grahf]

Is the period part of the code or just a period?

It's just a period. mv short for move.

you can find an example of what you need directy in the AppleScript's Examples Script folder in your Applications/AppleScript/Example Scripts/Finder Scripts directory.

I apparently missed the last word of the title on this thread. The mv command I gave is for the command line, but can be used in AppleScript as well doing like so,

do shell script "mv old.name new.name"

Is that the entire code? Because if so it hardly seems worth scripting...
