windows batch file rename

Question

I have some file such as AAA_a001.jpg, BBB_a002.jpg, CCC_a003.jpg in Windows 7 and I'm trying to use batch to rename these file to a001_AAA.jpg, a002_BBB.jpg, a003_CCC.jpg.

Just to swap the content between _.

I have been searching for a while, but still don't know how to do this. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Answer 1

Use REN Command

Ren is for rename

ren ( where the file is located ) ( the new name )

example

ren C:Users&username%Desktopaaa.txt bbb.txt

it will change aaa.txt to bbb.txt

Your code will be :

ren (file located)AAA_a001.jpg a001.AAA.jpg

ren (file located)BBB_a002.jpg a002.BBB.jpg

ren (file located)CCC_a003.jpg a003.CCC.jpg

and so on

IT WILL NOT WORK IF THERE IS SPACES!

Hope it helps :D
