Batch file for renaming files

Comment:

Hi, I require a simple batch file to run on cmd prompt which when run, would do a 'dir' on the current directory/specified directory and rename the files as follows:- existing filename format - file_[1]_name.txt required filename format - file_name.txt I'm not aware of the syntax for windows, so if anyone could help :-) Thanks Naveen

@echo off > file_[1]_name.txt setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=_" %%a in ('dir/b/a-d file_*.*') do ( echo ren %%a_%%b_%%c %%a_%%c ) ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2
