Ever since the earliest DOS versions the RENAME and its 'twin' (or alias?) REN have been around to allow us to change file names:

You can even use wildcards in filename1 (and filename2) to rename, say, all your (very) old MS-DOS (ASCII) help files from *.doc to *.txt:

If I remember correctly, in the old MS-DOS days, it was possible to append characters to the file name using the command:

Try that in Windows (XP) and you'll get *.txt1.txt files.

The proper way to do this in NT is:

For each *.txt file, '%%~fA' resolves to the (doublequoted) fully qualified path, and %%~nA1 to the original file name only, with a 1 appended, and .* to leave the extension unaltered.

Undocumented REN

Batch Rename Files Tool

Justin taught me an undocumented REN feature to chop off everything from a file name after the last occurrence of a specified character:

will rename testfile.txt to tes.

will not change the name at all (remember: the last App mindnode pc. occurrence..?).

will rename testfile.txt to test.
Does that mean chop off everything after the last occurrence of st? No it doesn't:

will rename testfile.txt to tesa, so it seems to mean chop off everything after the last s and then append an a.

Finally:

will rename testfile.txt to testfile.txta.

You can rename folders with the MOVE command:

Childish gambino ep album download zip free. where folder2 is a folder name only (not a fully qualified path).
Make sure folder2 does not exist, neither in d:path nor in the current folder, or the previous command will really movefolder2intofolder1 (making folder2 a subfolder of folder1).

Likewise, MOVE can be used to rename and move files all in one go:

In Renaming files from command line we saw how to rename files using Rename command. We can use Rename command to rename directories too. See the syntax below.

Example:

Note that, with rename command, we can’t move the files to another drive or directory. This command just renames the existing file/folder and does not create a new file. That is why it does not accept full path for the target file name. If you try to do that you will get the error – “The syntax of the command is incorrect.”

Example:

The below rename command works fine.

We can also use ren (the short form of rename) for rename operations. Both Ren and Rename refer to the same command.
