Rename File Stop After Certain Number

Need help writing a script? Have any question about ScriptFTP?
Im running the following script to rename several files but is there a way to stop after a certain amount of renames. Like stop after you rename 150 files.
FTP Script
  1. GETLIST($List, REMOTE_FILES)
  2. $Count=100
  3.  
  4. FOREACH $Item IN $List
  5.   RENAMEFILE($Item, "wxcam".$Count.".jpg")
  6.   $Count=$Count+1

Something like this:
FTP Script
  1. GETLIST($List, REMOTE_FILES)
  2.  
  3. #The number of files to rename
  4. $RenCount = 150
  5. #The initial number
  6. $Count = 100
  7.  
  8. $RenCount = $RenCount+$Count
  9. $List = TEXTCUT($List, 2, -1)."|"
  10.  
  11. :Start
  12. $i=2
  13.  
  14. WHILE(($i < TEXTLENGTH($List)) AND ($Count <= $RenCount))
  15.   IF(TEXTCUT($List, $i, 1) == "|")
  16.     RENAMEFILE(TEXTCUT($List, 1, $i-1), "wxcam".$Count.".jpg")
  17.     $List = TEXTCUT($List, $i+1, -1)
  18.     $Count = $Count+1
  19.     GOTO :Start
  20.   END IF
  21.   $i = $i+1

ScriptFTP support, documentation GETLIST

inaccuracy need to fix, I have written before, but somehow not corrected until now:
Every ScriptFTP variable contains a text string and the list that this command creates is not an exception. The character "|" is used to separate the items of the list. Therefore, you can also build file lists without GETLIST. For example: $mylist="|a.txt|b.txt|c.txt".
