Hello<br />
First off I know this is not really DOS but I'll ask away.<br />
<br />
I have a number of files which I need to rename. <br />
<br />
to Start with The files are called a number of things, and I would like to rename them sequentially<br />
<br />
eg<br />
<br />
rename oldfilea.dat to New file 1.dat<br />
rename another.dat to New file 2.dat<br />
rename bounce.dat to New file 3.dat.....<br />
<br />
it does not matter the order in which the files are re-named but the final names must be sequential, from 1 up to n (where n is the number of files in the folder)<br />
<br />
Is there a looping batch file I can use to accomplish this?<br />
<br />
Cheers in advance

Renaming a number of files sequentially

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.
