2 exam different work for me

could you help me ?

thxHere's one way: there are two different scripts to rename the files.  You can't rename the same set of files TWICE though.

This uses a helper batch file called `repl.bat` (by dbenham) - download from:  https://www.dropbox.com/s/qidqwztmetbvklt/repl.bat

Place `repl.bat` in the same folder as the batch file or in a folder that is on the path.


CODE: [Select]echo off
dir Ali_Veli_*.log /b /a-d |repl "(.*?_.*?_).*?_.*?_.*?_(.*\....)" "ren \q$&\q \q$1$2\q" x >renfiles.bat
call renfiles.bat
del renfiles.bat
pause

Code: [Select]echo off
dir Ali_Veli_*.log /b /a-d |repl "(.*?_.*?_).*?_.*?_.*?_[0]*(.*\....)" "ren \q$&\q \q$1$2\q" x >renfiles.bat
call renfiles.bat
del renfiles.bat
pause

This will merely display the changes to the screen:

Code: [Select]echo off
dir Ali_Veli_*.log /b /a-d |repl "(.*?_.*?_).*?_.*?_.*?_(.*\....)" "$1$2"
dir Ali_Veli_*.log /b /a-d |repl "(.*?_.*?_).*?_.*?_.*?_[0]*(.*\....)" "$1$2"
pause
sorry.. my mistake for file names

Ali_Veli not standart on file name.. so sorry for it

different file names...
Ali_Veli_05_02_02_00001.log
HAsaOsman_Nejat_Bekir_Selim_08_09_02_00 001.log
Cilek_a_06_02_01_00005.log
a_99_11_74_10562.log
akhkas_jhdk jhkj ha'skjhdkjah_cht_div_bat_08_09_02_00001.lo g


standart just right char count

all file name included  this style  "_xx_yy_zz_abcde"

i wanna modify _xx_yy_zz_abcde   this number line


so sorry for my mistakeShow what you want to rename them to...

Your original post shows two different formats.wanna change  file names  with 2 FORMAT

mean.. i will use 2 batch file  on my files for different works

---------------------------------------------------------
Ali_Veli_05_02_02_00001.log   ===>    format_1=  Ali_Veli_00001.log    ===>  format_2 = Ali_Veli_1.log
Hasan_06_04_75_00002.log   ===>    format_1=  Hasan_00002.log    ===>  format_2 = Hasan_1.log
Cilek_yesim_nihale_08_05_53_00003.log   ===>    format_1=  Cilek_yesim_nihale_00003.log    ===>  format_2 = Cilek_yesim_nihale_3.log
aa_11_07_16_00010.log   ===>    format_1=  aa_00010.log     ===>  format_2 = aa_10.log
Zeli_14_11_96_00012.log   ===>    format_1=  Zeli_00012.log     ===>  format_2 = Zeli_12.log
Bilal_23_18_00_00034.log   ===>    format_1=  Bilal_00034.log    ===>  format_2 = Bilal_34.log
---------------------------------------------------------


sorry for mistake...

thxTest this - it should create two sets of files with the format you need=:

Code: [Select]echo off
dir *.log /b /a-d |repl "(.*_).*_.*_.*_(.*\....)" "copy \q$&\q \q$1$2\q" xa >renfiles.bat
dir *.log /b /a-d |repl "(.*_).*_.*_.*_[0]*(.*\....)" "copy \q$&\q \q$1$2\q" xa >>renfiles.bat
call renfiles.bat
del renfiles.bat
pause

thank you very much

i am free now from  tools

this files will work on auto

thats all working with repl.bat file.. i copy repl.bat file to windows directory


thank you very much for everythings
sorry i will disturb you

this batch file creating NEW files for new (formated) file name

but... i dont need old file

just need NEW file names

how can do ?its true ?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dir *.log /b /a-d |repl "(.*_).*_.*_.*_(.*\....)" "ren $& $1$2" xa>renfiles.bat
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Try this: I change the copy to REN in the second repl command.

Code: [Select]echo off
dir *.log /b /a-d |repl "(.*_).*_.*_.*_(.*\....)" "copy \q$&\q \q$1$2\q" xa >renfiles.bat
dir *.log /b /a-d |repl "(.*_).*_.*_.*_[0]*(.*\....)" "ren \q$&\q \q$1$2\q" xa >>renfiles.bat
call renfiles.bat
del renfiles.bat
pauseworking

thank you very much
