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.
