Add list to existing file names

Hi,
How could I add a list of numbers to existing file names? I'm labeling files with information from a spreadsheet list, and the list function works right for when I want to completely replace the names of the files. But how can I use it to add instead of replace? Example: file_035_a file_035_b file_899_a file_788_b List: 1 1 4 5 Desired output: file_035_a_1 file_035_b_1 file_899_a_4 file_788_b_5 I've tried using tags but that would still require me to add <name> to the beggining of each row, which would then not work with the "copy and paste" from my spreadsheet list. Thank you. |

Save your list as a text file (csv or txt).
From the Menu Bar: Import->Data from CSV... (By default AR will ask for a .csv file but any text file will do if you only have a single column of numbers). Load your filenames into the List in the same order - then use an Add method... Add: _<Csv:1> At index: 0 Backwards |
