Hi
I have a whole load of files (couple of thou!) that I need to insert a couple of characters to the begining of each file name.
eg
file1.jpg
file2.jpg
Becomes
eefile1.jpg
eefile2.jpg
Anyone know of any script or software which could do this?
Thanks

Nah, many a good time spent with DOS!
So much stuff going on at the minute though, couldn't for the life of me remember how to do it!
(Felt bit of a tw£t when you told me!)

Post DOS - ROTF
So who else remembers trying to get a user to follow seemingly simple commands
ME - OK... Type 'Type config.sys'
User - What? Type type?
Yep - type the word type followed by config.sys
rattle rattle rattle
Nope - It isn't working
Is it giving you a message?
Yep - Bad command or filename
OK - What exactly did you type?
I typed 'type type config.sys'
NO NO NO NO - Just put in type once. Does that work?
erm.... Nope
Tell you what - Leave it and I'll come down and have a look
Visit user to find the words 'type configdotsys'
Faaaaaakkk
I was so happy when we got Win95

Puff, I used your command and this does not work! It does NOT insert "ee", it replaces the files first two characters!
Download Flash Renamer, works a treat.
Also download Better File Renamer, looks like it would work, but it is trail verision and would only do 10 or so files.
Thanks for all the help anyway.
