Need help with integrating files with non-descript names and no metadata

Hi,

Here is my situation: I have downloaded a little less than 100 very interesting articles from a website. They are now on my hd in htm format. I know I an easily import them into calibre, but since htm fles have no metadada and since their names are totally non-descript, I will not be able to know "who is who" (my calibre collection has 16'000+ books my now).

But all the files came from only one main page from which I downloaded them. And this page does have the correct names. Is there a way to batch rename them by somehow grabbing the names from this first menu page (which I can also download if needed) and applying them in the correct order to the files?

If not, can I at least keep them in a separate "sub-library' inside calibre and rename them all like this book1 book2 book3, etc.?

Or what other way could you recommend to identify these articles? (they are all on the same topic).

Many thanks,

Farhad
