    rxin = # needs to be Txt ctrl 3

a = 0

for fname in os.listdir(targetfolder):

        b = (newname + str(a) + c[1])
        os.rename(fname, b)

Ive gotten this far now, although none of my buttons work and my programme doesnt do anything at all, although im sure its a step in the right direction, can anyone help?

This is as far as i got, please only test this programme on a "trial file" and enter the extension as .*jpg for example, or .*doc and only test it on copy files as to not dmage your own (the programme overwrites all names of that extension in a file and appends them with numbers)
