The script seemed to work well. Thank you. Just what I needed. (It may take all day to run it, but will be a time saver in the long run.)

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have recently recovered a large amount of &quot;lost&quot; data from a drive, but was unable to recover the files with their proper names. (The recovery software just named them 0000A0A0.DOC, 0000A0A1.DOC, 0000A0A3.DOC...)<br />
There are over a thousand documents, so I would like to rename the file with text extracted from the document itself. I was thinking, from the first line of text. This would making sorting much easier.<br />
Does anyone know if this is possible with a batch file or something?

Batch rename Word (.doc) files based on first line of text

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

Windows Batch

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
