I have a lot of files that I need to change part of their file name and figure it will be easiest to do in DOS. For example, I want to change the file names: tro344-07-MySong-MyAlbum.mp3 and tro344-08-YourSong-YourAlbum.mp3 I want to get rid of the tro344-07- and the tro344-08- so that I am left with: MySong-MyAlbum.mp3 and YourSong-YourAlbum.mp3 Can you tell me what DOS command I would need to enter to do this? Thanks for you help!

There is no DOS in vist. ============================ @echo off & setLocal EnableDELAYedExpansion for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in ('dir/b/a-d') do ( for /f "tokens=3-4 delims=-" %%i in ("%%a") do ( echo ren %%a %%i-%%j ) ) ===================================== Helping others achieve escape felicity M2

Thanks for your help. I downloaded a free batch rename utility program,,,worked great! Thanks again!

Here is another script. # Script tro.txt cd "/some_directory" var str list, file, newname lf -n "tro*.mp3" > $list while ($list <> "") do lex "1" $list > $file ; stex -p "^-^2[" $file > $newname system rename $file $newname done Save the script in file C:/Scripts/tro.txt, start biterscripting ( http://www.biterscripting.com ), enter the following command script tro.txt Make sure you change "/some_directory" to the full path of the directory where files are located, enclosed in double quotes.
