1.	Solve : Batch file help.. rename file Windows 2003 Server?
Answer» Hello Group! I'm trying to CREATE a batch file that will rename a file extension... The FILENAME is al012007.dat.tmp5 I would like to rename it to al012007.dat I've tried: rename .tmp5 .dat, but that makes the file al012007.dat.dat I've ALSO tried: rename .tmp5 but nothing happens at all. The above command does work when I try it on Windows XP, but not Window 2003 server. Thanks for any suggestions... BryanDo you just want to rename 1 file, or all files that are .dat.tmp5? For 1 file, just use Code: [Select]ren al012007.dat.tmp5 al012007.dat... but you probably already knew that. To rename .dat.tmp5 you can use Code: [Select]@echo off for %%a in (.dat.tmp5) do echo ren "%%a" "%%~NA"
