Hello,

Trying to get back into writing batch files, been several years. I have several files in a folder that I would like to copy/rename from one destination to another. The file names VARY, here are a few examples of the SOURCE file names:

200167-010-Model.jpg
200169-008M-Model.jpg
200169-012C WITH LEG LEAD-Model.jpg

I would like the destination file names to be the same, with the exception of removing "-Model". From the source files above, the destination file names would be:

200167-010.jpg
200169-008M.jpg
200169-012C WITH LEG LEAD.jpg


In all cases the "-Model" in the source name is at the end (IE. *-Model.jpg).


Thanks in advance for any help,
ChiSoxFanThis little snippet will simply list the copy operations but not actually perform them. When you are satisfied with the results, remove the word echo from the highlighted line. I named the source folder source, and the target folder target, change as necessary.
