randomly rename documents - how to?

I need help on this.
I need to rename items shuffling them randomly.
A basic "001.ext, 002.ext, 003.ext, ... (total amount of docs)" would do, but they need to be randomly renamed.
Help, please...

Code: Select all
$countSelected = get("CountSelected");
$fileList = get("SelectedItemsPathNames", "|");
$fileList = formatlist($fileList, "x", "|");
$i = 1;
while($i <= $countSelected) {
$item = gettoken($fileList, $i, "|");
rename b, format($i, "000"), , $item;
$i++;
}

Damn, boy, you've shuffled it using the formalist function 'x'?
I need to take a break. Seriously.
Many thanks, highend!

Must easier would be:
Code: Select all
#331; /Random resort list
rename b, '<#001>', ,,8;
