I'm trying to rename SF0310271145.CSV (SFyymmddhhmm.csv) to SISCR12mmddhhmm.csv in command prompt using 'rename' but it truncates the filename.<br />
<br />
Here's what I enter at the prompt...<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;ren SF03*.CSV SISCR12*.CSV<br />
<br />
<br />
The result is...<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;SISCR1271145.CSV<br />
<br />
I tried this in NT4.0 and XP Pro with the same results. &nbsp;Is there a undocumented switch for 'rename'. &nbsp;I need to create a batch script that can do this for me automatically. &nbsp;Please help. &nbsp;TIA.
