@Scott-Sumner
no pressure, no pressure - I thought of a simple solution like
import os
search_string = 'HERE_YOUR_STRING'
i = 0
for root, dirs, files in os.walk('C:\\WHAT_EVER_DIR\\'): # take care of double backslash like c:\\temp\\dir1\\
for file in files:
fname, ext = os.path.splitext(file)
if ext == '.xml':
i+=1
full_path = os.path.join(root, file)
with open(full_path) as f:
s = f.read()
s = s.replace(search_string, search_string + str(i))
with open(full_path, "w") as f:
f.write(s)
but now, maybe an windows api solution?? ;-))
Cheers
