Rename a file

[awaneesh.pandey]

I have file name like 114721_1731681_GHYTRH_Rebook_Linz_HYTRFHJ_3427238_052113.txt . I want to rename the file by retaining the values from left till second underscore like _3427238_052113.txt
Can any one have a quick solution?

what you show is the 6th underscore from left. <----there is the left side, on the beginning.

Code: Select all

@echo off&setlocal
set "name=114721_1731681_GHYTRH_Rebook_Linz_HYTRFHJ_3427238_052113"

for /f "tokens=1-6*delims=_" %%a in ("%name%") do set "newname=%%a_%%b_%%c_%%d_%%e_%%f"
echo ren "%name%" "%newname%"
