Vba Auto Increment File Name Changer
My C# code is generating several text files based on input and saving those in a folder. Also, I am assuming that the name of the text file will be same as input.(The input contains only letters)If two files has same name then it is simply overwriting the previous file. But I want to keep both files.
I don't want to append current date time or a random number to the 2nd file name. Instead I want to do it the same way Windows does. If the fisrt file name is AAA.txt , then second file name is AAA(2).txt, third file name will be AAA(3).txt...N th file name will be AAA(N).txt.

The other examples don't take into account the filename / extension.
Here you go:
How about just:
This will use the original file name if it's not there, if not it'll take a new file name with the index in brackets (although this code isn't taking the extension into account). If the newly generated name 'text(001)' is used then it'll increment until it finds a valid unused file name.
I was looking for a solution that would move a file, and make sure that if the destination file name is not already taken. It would follow the same logic as Windows and append a number, with brackets after the duplicate file.
The top answer, thanks to @cadrell0, helped me arrive to the following solution:
You can declare a Dictionary<string,int> to keep the number of times each root file name was saved. After that, on your Save method, just increase the counter and append it to the base file name:

With regard to Giuseppe's comment on the way windows renames files I worked on a version that finds any existing index i.e. (2) in the file name and renames the file as per windows accordingly. The sourceFileName is assumed to be valid and the user is assumed to have write permission on the destination folder by this point:
