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??

*sorry 4 this bad english*
Re: Re-nameing all files in a dir(not the extension)
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
Re: Re-nameing all files in a dir(not the extension)
since i dont like f'n around in DOS....

actully it becoms a prob some times cuz the file loses its extension :(
Re: Re-nameing all files in a dir(not the 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

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
Re: Re-nameing all files in a dir(not the extension)
Thanks for that Vargas !
So is Cmd.exe the best way to go for all Dos work ?

Yesh think of it as a newer Dos that has a few extra features (long file names and such)

Yes, unless youre using a DOS program that doesn't support long filenames
