That works great! But I want to add this to a scheduled task that runs everyday at 10:00 am. But when I do this the file name that was change the day before to Hans-Soloex071024log now becomes Han-SoloHanSoloex071024log<wbr />. Is there a way not change the file name of those that have previously been changed?

<div>
are you asking for a shell or VB script?

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I need to know how to write a script that will change the name of my logfiles. For example if I have the following files:<br />
ex071014log.txt<br />
ex071015log.txt<br />
I want to &nbsp;change each one to:<br />
Han-Soloex071014log.txt<br />
Han-Soloex071015log.txt<br />
<br />
In essence I want to add Han-Solo in front of the original file name.<br />
Can this be done, if so how?<br />

Script to change multiple file names

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

VB Script

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.

Shell Scripting

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
