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

CD/d "C:\myfolder"
for %%F in (Q-Images*.TIF) do (
set _FN=%%F
ren "!_FN!" "!_FN:~8!"
