Rename files

Rename files

I have a test.jsx file on the desktop

I would like to rename it to test1.jsx

that would be great

if it is possible to have a sequential or random number to be added

after the writing test_sequential.jsx

Like this?

main();
function main(){
var doc = File(Folder.desktop + "/test.jsx");
if(!doc.exists) return;
var Name = "test";
var fileList= Folder.desktop.getFiles("Test*.jsx").sort().reverse();
var Suffix = 0;
if(fileList.length){
    Suffix = Number(fileList[0].name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '').match(/\d+$/));
}
Suffix= zeroPad(Suffix + 1, 4);
doc.rename(Name + "_" + Suffix + ".jsx");
}
function zeroPad(n, s) { 
   n = n.toString(); 
   while (n.length < s)  n = '0' + n; 
   return n; 
};

Thanks SuperMerlin

And if I wanted to delete the test.jsx file

[SuperMerlin]

var doc = File(Folder.desktop + "/test.jsx");

if(doc.exists) doc.remove();
