Hello,

I need to import 200 images wich all have the same structure name and path:

"1224561_FR.jpeg" - the names starts with different digits code and ends with "_FR"

"1224561 - XXXXXX" - the folders starts with the digits followed by a variable text " - XXXXX"

Is that possible to import the images to Indesign only by the first digits of the filename?

I have a CVS file with the digits codes but can't figured how do it!

Thank you guys!

Hello CIA_design,

thank you for your answer.

But what I'm looking for is a way to indesign find the folder path by it's name (reading only the digits and ignoring the following text name).

Is there a way to indesign search a folder only by it's partial file name?

Thank you again!
