Is there some way to control the number of lines the Rename dialog shows in Preview mode? It seems to show the first 128 by default. I coded a Rename script (JavaScript) and would need to see the results of the renaming for several hundred file names. Thanks. ---

Just drag the lower-right hand corner of the window via the handle to resize the Rename dialog ... ---

You can use the Test mode option in the Rename dialog if you want to see more lines than the preview shows. ---

Even though I had tried it out, I never thought of using the Test view in such a way. This works pretty well. Thanks. My "Book Title Caps" rename script should be done soon, will post it over at the Scripts forum. ---

Hi Aeon, can you explain to me (in short), how you switched your rename script to javascript ?! I thought DO just supports visual basic scripting ?! thx! ---

There's a guide to using JScript and Perl here: [[Rename scripts in JScript, VBScript and PerlScript](http://resource.dopus.com/t/rename-scripts-in-jscript-vbscript-and-perlscript/5480/1)) ---

Right, I was so happy to find leo's info on JavaScript, because I started writing scripts for UltraEdit recently (ARexx returneth... somewhat) and did not really want to learn _another_ language. My Rename script is quite long and fully commented so it should help you check out a few "working" examples. ---

Myarmor deserves the credit really. I just packaged the info into a convenient post. 🙂
