A batch file for rename

Comment:

I would like to rename numbers of files frome the name abc123.txt, abc456.txt ... to 123.txt, 456.txt ... So how can I trim the file name? Thank you

Take the filename in a variable for example %filename% (You can do the whole directory in a for loop.) echo %filename:~3% will give out the string from the 4th character. hope this helps uli (123.txt instead of abc123.txt)

Try this: :: abc.bat @echo off :main for %%F in (abc*.txt) do call :renamer %%F goto :eof :renamer set old=%1 ren %1 %old:~3,9% :: end M2 If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
