this should do it:
give the path to the batch file as %1
@echo off set bn=%0 if "%1"==":trim" goto trim if "%1"==":dir" goto dir for /r %1 %%I in (*.*) do call %bn% :trim %%I %%~nI for /r %1 %%I in (*.*) do call %bn% :dir %%I %%~nI ren %1\* *.slot goto EOF :trim set x=%3 set x1=%2 set x2=%x:~0,-2% ren "%x1%" "%x2%" goto EOF :dir set x=%3 set x1=%2 set x2=DIR-%x% ren "%x1%" "%x2%" :EOF
