Hello,

I’ve got a directory of files with timestamps, which I need to erase the timestamp (I will need this putting in a BATCH file as I generate over 1000 of these files a day because of a TEST driver I’m using)

Examples of these files are:
2014-01-20-Testing_1_200.txt
2014-01-20-Testing_2_400.txt
2014-01-20-Testing_3_400.txt
2014-01-20-Testing_4_200.txt
2014-01-20-Testing_5_200.txt

Can anyone specify some DOS code I can put into a batch which would get rid of the timestamp and leave the file like: Testing_1_200.txt? Erasing the timestamp?

Thanks,
The Test this:

Code: [Select]@echo off
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir *.txt /b /a-d ') do (
for /f "tokens=1,2,3,* delims=-" %%b in ("%%a") do (
ren "%%a" "%%e"
)
)Hello,

Thanks for that reply,

But please could you explain how i can modify that so it will WORK with my files? I've put an example of the folder below:
. 2014-20-01-Testresults_1.txt
. 2014-20-01-Testresults_2.txt
. 2014-20-01-Testresults_3.txt
. 2014-20-01-Testresults_4.txt
. 2014-20-01-Testresults_5.txt

Thanks, The code Foxidrive GAVE you should work just fine.

Code: [Select]H:\temp>dir /b *.txt
2014-20-01-Testresults_1.txt
2014-20-01-Testresults_2.txt
2014-20-01-Testresults_3.txt
2014-20-01-Testresults_4.txt
2014-20-01-Testresults_5.txt

H:\temp>Multirename.bat

H:\temp>dir /b *.txt
Testresults_1.txt
Testresults_2.txt
Testresults_3.txt
Testresults_4.txt
Testresults_5.txt

H:\temp>Thanks very much - I look FORWARD to trying this out tomorrow.

I'm fairly new to DOS and working with Batch files, I look forward however to increasing my knowledge!
