Can anyone there to help... Thanks in Advance... Hari..

first look in the DOS forum, there have been post of this type. if you can not find one to help , post you problem there, you will likely get more help.

If you can send the files that you want to rename to a seperate directory, you can RENAME them all with this .bat _____________________________________________ @echo off cls command /c ren *.* *.txt cls _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ If you want to COPY them all to a new name instead, use this .bat> ---------------- @echo off cls command /c Copy *.* *.txt cls _____________________________________________ Run the .bat file from the same directory as the files you want to rename! Then refresh your screen to see the new names by pressing [F5] OK? Bob/808

That message diddn't print well! It's supposed to be; One space between [command] and [/c] One space between [/c] and [ren] One space between [ren] and [*.*] One space between [*.*] and [*.txt] OK? 808
