![]() ![]() Where folder2 is a folder name only (not a fully qualified path). You can rename folders with the MOVE command: MOVE d:\path\folder1 folder2 #Dos batch file rename files windows#Will rename testfile.txt to testfile.txta. Microsoft included a batch rename feature in the latest version of Windows allowing you to select multiple files, right click on one and select rename. Will rename testfile.txt to tesa, so it seems to mean chop off everything after the last s and then append an a. REN testfile.txt *stĭoes that mean chop off everything after the last occurrence of st? No it doesn't: REN testfile.txt *sa Will not change the name at all (remember: the last occurrence.?). Justin taught me an undocumented REN feature to chop off everything from a file name after the last occurrence of a specified character: REN testfile.txt *s The proper way to do this in NT is: FOR %%A IN (*.txt) DO REN "%%~fA" "%%~nA1.*"įor each *.txt file, "%%~fA" resolves to the (doublequoted) fully qualified path, and %%~nA1 to the original file name only, with a 1 appended, and. Try that in Windows (XP) and you'll get *.txt1.txt files. ![]() If the source file doesnt yet exist the command will simply return: A duplicate file name exists, or the file cannot be found. where switch '/y' forces the overwrite of existing abc.mp3. If I remember correctly, in the old MS-DOS days, it was possible to append characters to the file name using the command: REN *.txt *1.txt I second to Scotts suggestion, move command would be the easiest approach, you can do the following: move /y abc-.mp3 abc.mp3. You can even use wildcards in filename1 (and filename2) to rename, say, all your (very) old MS-DOS (ASCII) help files from *.doc to *.txt: REN *.doc *.txt Note that you cannot specify a new drive or path for your destination file.
