Thanks Salmon, and no apology needed... I dont feel that it was hijacked..lol   I welcome all input on the matter!

Thanks for showing me how to strip off the file extension with

Code: [Select]

for /f "delims=" %%A in ('dir /b *.mp4') do echo %%~nA >> list.txt
And clarifying %cd% vs my assumption of %cc%

here's another idea, im going to skip the error checking


ifstream inFile;
string temp;
vector<string> fileNames, newFileNames;



system("dir /s /b *.mp4 *.avi *.mpeg >> out.txt");
inFile.open("out.txt");

while(inFile){

   getline(inFile, temp);
   fileNames.push_back(temp);

}//while

inFile.close();

for (int i = 0; i < fileNames.size(); i++){

   for (int i2 = fileNames.at(i).size() - 1; i2 >= 0 ; i2--)
      if (fileNames.at(i).at(i2) == '.'){
         newFilesNames.push_back(fileNames.at(i).substr(0, (fileNames.at(i).size() - (fileNames.at(i).size() - i2 ))
         i2 = -1

      }//if


}//for

then youd probably want to rename the file

string temp, cmd= "rename ";

for (int i = 0; i < newFileNames.size(); i++){

temp = cmd + fileNames.at(i) + " " + newFileNames.at(i);
system(temp.c_str());

}//for

something along these lines, didnt really get to test it but ive done a similar project before
