I need a batch file that renames a bunch of files for me. Basically each file name has 10 characters and a period(.) and then the rest of the name. The 10 characters is always the same.

For example:
mywebsite.file1.jpg
mywebsite.file2.jpg
mywebsite.file3.jpg

I just want it to be:
file1.jpg
file2.jpg
file3.jpg

So removing the first 10 characters of the file name or removing a certain phrase from the file name should work. I am a batch noob so any help I would greatly appreciate.

Ok thanks. Some are also _ (underscores) instead of periods. Would it be something like this:

@echo off
for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=_" %%a in ('dir /b *.jpg') do rename %%a_%%b_%%c %%b_%%c

??
