SmartRename is a small utility that was written for backup purposes.
One of the customers is running a software which should be back up every day.
As the compressed archive file is generated with always the same name
(for example: archive.zip), I have written a small and simple utility
which adds a datetime string to the filename. Renaming helps keeping
everyday archives from being overwritten without sophisticated backup
software. You can, of course, write a batch file based on system commands,
but it is just another way of doing a job done. If you find it useful for you,
just enjoy!

SmartRename operates in two modes:

mode 1 - it just adds datetime string between filename and its extension
Example:
SmartRename.exe mode=1 test.txt
the resulting file changes its name from test.txt to test_20090906_1531_01.txt
(the datetime string is defined according to the date and time of execution
of the program)

mode 2 - program renames a file based on filename and extension defined as
parameters
Example:
SmartRename.exe mode=2 test.txt text_archive txt
the resulting file changes its name from test.txt to
test_archive_20090906_1531_01.txt
(the datetime string is defined according to the date and time of execution
of the program)

SmartRename does not support wildcards.

This utility is freeware with no support, but any suggestions are welcome.
You can use it for any purposes at your own risk.
