Solve : Rename files?

Answer»

An application is creating ASCII files.
Each file begins with 2011 EN the following 4 CARACTERS are variable.
I'm LOOKING for a DOS-command which can RENAME this file 2011**** into mytext_8_2011****.
I tried the copy and rename command, but it doesn't work.

For EXAMPLE : 20110807 --> mytext_8_20110807

If I do

Rename 2011*.* mytext_8_2011*.*

the result is : mytext_8_2011 and not mytext_8_20110807

The same result for COPY 2011*.* mytext_8_2011*.*


for /f "delims=" %%A in ('dir /b /a-d 2011*.*') do ren "%%A" "mytext_8_%%A"

Thank you !Code: [Select]@echo off
for %%a in (2011*.*) do (
ren "%%a" "mytext_8_%%a"
)
