Is it possible to go into a directory and rename a bunch of files instead of renaming one at a time in windows dos. I want to append something to about 100 files and dont want to take the long route. Basically I need to go into the directory and snatch each file and rename.
Thanks,
Jon

Couldn't you just use a loop?

thats obvious and not what i was looking for...i was looking for more on the lines of appending something to the beginning of a bunch of files.
