Like I said, I didn't think it was going to be this sophisticated. Not just 12 folders either, there's a few years worth. Not the biggest amount of time, but I thought it to be a good exercise in batch.Squashman wrote:Samir wrote:I generally like a one line command that does the job so I don't have to create a batch file and manage it.

Pretty much overkill for a one time use. I would have just manually renamed 12 folders. If you tell me that you are just always going to copy and paste that from some help manual you have created then you might as well save it as a batch file and run it.
If you save the batch file and always run it as a batch file you will always have the code to look back on for future use and it may help you write other similar batch files with the concepts that are within that batch file.
The manual is this forum. I search here for a solution to a problem first. 90% of the time there's a batch that someone else has already written that I can modify for what I need. This was one of the rare occasions when I didn't, and I learned quite a bit about approaching a problem by looking at the solutions.
Never underestimate the power of the collective medium. It outweighs any 'library' of solutions one would have locally.
