Solve : How to exlude parts of a filename?

1.	Solve : How to exlude parts of a filename?
Answer» I have files in my FOLDER: C:\files\002-31234567.dat C:\files\002-31234568.dat C:\files\005-51234567.dat and I want to copy them to another folder WITHOUT the 002- and 005- PART. So I get: C:\copy\31234567.dat C:\copy\31234568.dat C:\copy\51234567.dat I've tried "copy c:\files\002-.dat c:\copy\.dat" but that copies the 002- part too. How can I LEAVE the first 4 characters out of the filename? Welcome to CH Forume!! type the following command in dos prompt. Code: [Select]for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=-" %a in ('dir c:\files\*.dat /b') do copy c:\files\%a-%b C:\copy\%bThanks! That did the trick!
