<i>Are these folder names always the same length?</i><br />
If they are, we could use the MID command in VBS &nbsp; :)<br />

thanks, IT_Crowd. I will test the codes. The folder names are different in length (i.e. the number of &quot;x&quot;s is uncertain, the only certain number is &quot;yyyy&quot; - always 4)

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
There are over 300 sub-folders in one folder all have the same name formatting:<br />
xxxx-xxxxxxx.yyyy.xxxx<br />
,where &quot;x&quot;s are various number of characters, &quot;yyyy&quot; is year number (2012 for example). I want rename them to:<br />
xxxxxxx.yyyy (remove anything before and including &quot;-&quot;, and remove anything after year).<br />
<br />
Is there a fast way to do it?
