If you have spaces and ampersands then you need double quotes.

REN "jan example number-1001.jpg" "jan example number.jpg"

But you can't rename all those photos to the same name.

If you have spaces and ampersands then you need double quotes.

REN "jan example number-1001.jpg" "jan example number.jpg"



Sir, this one is not working also..=(

[foxidrive]

REN "jan example number-1001.jpg" "jan example number.jpg"

Sir, this one is not working also..=(

What error do you get?

[ka_poroy]

It's showing invalid switch - number

and I removed the - sign and replace with space

again error showing

the system cannot find the file specified

[foxidrive]

Firstly, you might have a REN.BAT or REN.CMD somewhere in the folder.
Secondly, make sure you have the quotes where I showed you.
Finally, make sure the name is spelled correctly.


Then try it again and tell us how it goes, including any error messages.

I know you want to script this and make it more useful, but get it working with one file to make sure, first.

Why do you need more than one threads: stackoverflow

Hello ka_poroy

I saw your post.

Here in my computer, I applied that one

After rename process:

BEFORE RENAME AFTER RENAME
jan example number-1001.txt-> jan example 1001.jpg
feb example number-1002.txt-> feb example 1002.jpg
mar example number-1003.txt-> mar example 1003.jpg
apr example number-1004.txt-> apr example 1004.jpg
may example number-1005.txt-> may example 1005.jpg
jun example number-1006.txt-> jun example 1006.jpg
jul example number-1007.txt-> jul example 1007.jpg
aug example number-1008.txt-> aug example 1008.jpg
sep example number-1009.txt-> sep example 1009.jpg
oct example number-1010.txt-> oct example 1010.jpg
nov example number-1011.txt-> nov example 1011.jpg
dec example number-1012.txt-> dec example 1012.jpg

Below it goes the script:

Code: Select all

@echo off
cls

:: Author: Lima, Rodrigo Sant Anna
:: Date: November 29th,2013

if exist pipeline.txt del pipeline.txt

:: Regular Expression
:: Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z]{3} example number-[0-9]{4}.jpg$
dir /b "??? example number-????.jpg" > pipeline.txt

SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion

For /f "tokens=1,2 delims=-" %%a in (pipeline.txt) do (

   set month=%%a
   set num=%%b

   :: Rename Old Signature to New Signature
   ren "%%a-%%b"  "!month:~0,3! example !num:~0,4!.jpg"

)

EndLocal

if exist pipeline.txt del pipeline.txt
goto:eof

I have tested here and it works perfectly.Please test it in your environment and I hope
that it is useful for you.

See you
