how to add several characters to the name of all files

[Mohammad_Dos]

i want to add several characters (+++) to name of all files in a folder. i use this:

Code: Select all

ren *.* +++*.*

but names change like these:

new file.txt ------> +++ file.txt
extra.wmv ------> +++ra.wmv

can somebody help me?

Use the wildcard character as the only character inside the parentheses.

A simple modification may work for you. For example:

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal
attrib %0 +h
for /f "delims=" %%f in (
'dir /b *.*') do (
set name=%%~nxf
echo ren "%%~nxf" "+++%%~nxf"
)>>test_file.bat
attrib %0 -h

Best wishes.
