Lace! Wedge! Get in here!

I need your help.
>_>
I need a small program/batch file that can extract line 5 from a series of txt files, then dump them (about 1800) to a new txt file with the file name following by a space.

Thanks in advance.

 

...And this is kinda priority 1...

 

what?
you want a program that extracts line five from a txt, and then dumps it to a new file, correct?
then why the 1800 lines?
responder s'il vous plaît.
I can't help ya otherwise.

confunding.

Has to do it for ~1800 files. @_@
Although, idealy...

Something that could get line 5 from a text document, then rename the document to the contents of line 5, as well as rename an HTML file with the same name (excepting the extension)... Like...
Line 5 of nextpoetffff.txt: GENERIC POETRY TITLE
Rename: nextpoetffff.txt: GENERIC POETRY TITLE.txt
Rename: nextpoetffff.html: GENERIC POETRY TITLE.html
Etc. ad nauseum.

...
Would be ideal. :3
I'm at a loss.
I'm tired from trying all night.
Oi.
Methinks I need to brush up on batch programming...
>_<
Wheeee.

EDIT: If I had my way, computers would understand plain English. In fact, they'd understand natural speech parsing and be able to do advanced voice recognition.

 

okay, sounds good.
I'm gunna make it in gm, if you don't mind too terribly, it'll be fastest, if a tad ugly.

If you get this right, you will have saved me from...

-Wipes brow-

 

alll I have to do now is add batch, but Ima gunna make it easier.
(I have to mow de lawn, in like, 5, though, so this'll take an undetermined amount of time)

 

euch, I have to go mow, so I cannae do the batch now. Instead, I put it on an infinite loop.
hopefully this'll help you a bit, just make sure you put it in the same directory as all your files.
bam

 

Hurray for insufficient video memory! ^_^
Hurray for having to use my mom's computer! ^_^
lol

 

lol
insufficient video memory?
I didn't even draw anything...
does I need to remake it, or is it okay?

 

It works alright except for one minor hiccup...
I miscounted the lines.
It should be reading line 4.
^^;
lol
-Feels like an idiot-

And it's not your fault my computer sucks so much ass.
>_>
It lags Cave Story.

Also...
There is potential for duplicate names...
Can you make it append a (1) or something if it encounters 1?

 

clever. ^^
well, here's the mildly updated version.
I'm out for a few hours, sobye.

 

Ooooh!!!

Is somebody in trouble???

 

So did the new version work?

Lemme make sure I understand perfectly. You want the program to find all *.txt files within the same directory and rename them to whatever is in the fourth line (without changing the file extension)? Cause I could write a program to do that in like 2 seconds.

 

Oh I see...

Adult people serious buisiness stuff...

Alright, I'll leave you alone.

As well as rename an HTML file (each txt has an acompanying HTML) to the same thing.
I'm just about to test the newer version.
:3

EDIT: V2 not work so well... Still grabs line 5. ^^;

 

Phu phuu pu. >.<
Pu phuuuuu phuu!

 

Sooo... did it work??

Nope.
And, uh...
That's why I made DragonBrowse.

Oddly, I'm trying the fox right now...
Not too bad, bug it hogs about half of my 192 Mb.
