Hello.
I'm a complete newb to scripting and would like some help. What I'm trying to accomplish is just simply prefixing information to a file name.
Example:
File1 to old_File1
File2 to old_File2
etc...

I tried.

@echo off
RENAME "c:\PATH\To\Files\*.txt" "Old_*.txt"

It doesn't work.. it renamed two files, removed some characters in the. It didn't work at all how expected and it also failed how I did not expect it to either.

Please help!

Thank you!

@echo off
setlocal
set src=c:\test
pushd "%src%"
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /s /a-d *.txt') do (ren "%%a" "old_%%~na%%~xa")

Thanks. I appreciate it.
