Re-nameing all files in a dir(not the extension)

is there any software or a dos command to rename a file for eg:

Britney Spears - Megamix - Chris Cox Mega Mix

TO

Britney Spears - Megamix - Chris Cox Mega Mix - Blah 2004

i mean i just want to add some thing at the back of the file name.now there may be 100's of files in the folder with different names.

i know the dos command for renaming severel files extension's in a dir.

any suggestions??

and i wanted to make a renamer using c++ or vb 6.if anyone knows a nice site 4 it then plz suggest here?

*sorry 4 this bad english*

ren *.* *_-_Blah_2004.*

note: you can't use spaces in the filename youre adding, also note do it from a CMD.EXE prompt and not a COMMAND.COM prompt or you'll lose long filenames

since i dont like f'n around in DOS....
i use lupas rename, its pretty good
never fkd up on me anyway :P

p.s.....i usually dont help britney fans, you caught me on a good day :lol:

both great reply but i still prefer the old dos method :)

FKDUP74:Britney still rocks :P

actully it becoms a prob some times cuz the file loses its extension :(

gee the first time i tested it it worked, but now it's adding it after the extention, like you said. try fkdup's program, or this one while i think on this some more

ren *.* *_-_Blah_2004.mp3* or something

Hi Vargas.

How does one get to a Command.Exe prompt rather than a Command.Com Prompt ?

I usually go Start/programs/Accessories/Dos Prompt.

command prompt:
start>run>command.com

cmd prompt:
start>run>cmd.exe

Thanks for that Vargas !

So is Cmd.exe the best way to go for all Dos work ?
