Script to rename many files
Hi, I have about 2000 image files that are structured like this: Q-Images0D264A61-9F97-4E6A

alternatively, you can replace this line:
ren "!_FN!" "!_FN:~8!"
with this one:
echo ren "!_FN!" "!_FN:Q-Images=!"
ren "!_FN!" "!_FN:~8!"
with this one:
echo ren "!_FN!" "!_FN:Q-Images=!"
oops, but remove the "echo" from the second one.

Are the filenames a static length? if they are this should do it.
Set oFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oFolder = oFS.GetFolder("C:\PATH")
For Each oFile In oFolder.Files
WScript.Echo oFile.name
WScript.Echo oFile.path
If Left(Lcase(oFile.name),8) = "q-images" Then
oFS.CopyFile oFile.path, "C:\PATH\" & Right(oFile.name,Len(oFile.name) - 7)
End If
Next
actually that will work if they are not static it is going to look at the length of the file name and take 7 off of that which should remove the Q-Images portion of every file.

thank you
VB Script
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.
