That is an example of a folder of files i have. however i need to take the first number of every file and take 1 from it. so the first file will change from 01-06-20080559100001.002  to  00-06-20080559100001.002

i have made a phpscript to do this. but now i need a batch file for when i dont have access to the internet

Any ideas?

PHP? How can you use PHP to do it?

thats how i did it with php. there is alot of extra stuff in that script. hopefully someone knows howto do it in dos.

[kpac]

Did you use that PHP script to change files on a web server? Or a home server?

[2shae]

i uploaded files to the sever and it would rename them all at once. but now i need to be able to rename files on different pcs when im onsite. so i cant just install easy php for example on the pc to rename the files. a batch file would be perfect

[dr.b0ts0y]

A batch script can make your life easier and your codes more smaller. Or you can use vbscript to do that for you.

id love a batch script. problem is i have NO idea how to make it. im good with php and  bash. not dos

[ValerieMay]

This batch script will probably do it.   To rename the files remove the :: on the Ren line after testing to ensure it will do what you want.   I have only tested it using six filenames.    You will also have to reset the in_file variable to suit your source directory.

Note: The code does not cater for space(s) in the path\filename, the Ren command will fail.

Good luck

Code: [Select]

@echo off
cls
setlocal

set in_file=d:\temp\badname\
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b %in_file%') do call :rename %%a
goto :EOF

:rename
set oldname=%1
set /a newdate=1%oldname:~0,2%-101
if %newdate% lss 10 set newname=0%newdate%%oldname:~2% & goto rename
set newname=%newdate%%oldname:~2%

:rename
:: ren %in_file%%oldname% %newname%

echo Old file name = %oldname%
echo New file name = %newname%
echo.
