Identify the orientation of the image

I need to do something similar, but for all images in a directory. I just want to either renal the image with 'portrait or landscape' in the title (p or l would do or better still save the image with it's dimentions in the name to a directory for landscape and a directory for portrait.
Any pointers would be very helpful as I've never written a script for Photoshop

You can also use scripts in actions.  Sometimes you may rotate an image to one landscape if its not then do some work and then rotate it back after doing the work.  I have written a script that can do that. It what I call a run twice script.  The first time you run it on a document it will rotate Portrait images and when it is run a secont time within the action it will rotate document it rotated back to portrait.
