I’m tiring to get a .bat file to rename oeminfo.ini to oeminfoBAK.ini and if it exist to auto rename oeminfoBAK1.ini and so on. if exist c:\windows\system32\oeminfoBAK.ini ren c:\windows\system32\oeminfo.ini oeminfoBAK2.ini and if exist c:\windows\system32\oeminfo.ini ren c:\windows\system32\oeminfo.ini oeminfoBAK.ini works but I know there is a better way. I’m not to good at this and it looks like you all have it mastered, your help would be deeply appreciated.

if exist %FPath%.ini (ren %FPath%.ini oeminfoBAK.ini & exit/b) dir /b %FPath%BAK*.ini | find "oeminfoBAK" > Files.txt
for /f "tokens=1-2 delims=BAK" %%a in (Files.txt) do ( for /f "tokens=1 delims=.ini" %%c in ("%%b") do (set Num=%%c) if !Num! EQU 0 (ren !FPath!BAK.ini oeminfoBAK1.ini) if !Num! GTR 0 ( set /a Num2=!Num!+1 ren !FPath!BAK!Num!.ini oeminfoBAK!Num2!.ini ) ) del Files.txt
