I need some ideas for an algorithym
Hi. New member. I'm not trying to learn VB in one day, but I only have one project that I want to make with VB, then probably won't need it for a while.
What I want to do:
I have a lot of old books (many with bad, frayed spines) that I really don't want to put on a book scanner where I have to hold the book upside down. I intend to build a bookscanner with my camera (on supports) where I will take *.jpg files. The books will lie in a cradel and I will have to take pictures of all of the left pages, then all of the right pages.
When pictures are imported into a folder from the SD card, they do seem to be sequentially numbered "xxxxxxxxxx01.jpg", xxxxxxxxx02.jpg" etc. So here's what I want to accomplish:
I want to import all of the jpg files into a (listfile? combobox? textbox? something else?), then rename them (from xxxxxx01.jpg) to page 1.jpg, page3.jpg, page5.jpg etc. Then I will send them to some software where it will convert the many jpg files to a large pdf file.
So, do I import them into a listbox, combobox, textbox? Would I use the common dialog box to open the files and import them into the "box"?, would you export them into a different folder? Is renaming files after they've been imported difficult?
Thanks for any input.
Steve
