Hello,

Is it possible to use the rename command to rename a *.ITF file with
the filename of a TXT file in the same directory. For example
Directory 1 contains:

DEAL1.ITF
BRETT.TXT
DEAL1.LOG

Is it possible to rename DEAL1.LOG to BRETT.LOG (the same name of the
TXT file). The TXT file will be a different name each time, therefore
it needs to be some kind of variable rename i.e. always rename
the .LOG file to that of the .TXT filename.

Thanks,

Brett

Cut and paste the following commands into a .bat file, eg renamer.bat.
Then execute it.

=====================================
md dummydir
copy *.txt dummydir
cd dummydir
ren *.txt *.
for %%i in (*) do set txt_name=%%i
del %txt_name%
cd ..
copy *.log dummydir
cd dummydir
ren *.log *.
for %%i in (*) do set log_name=%%i
del %log_name%
cd ..
ren %log_name%.log %txt_name%.log
ren %log_name%.itf %txt_name%.itf
set log_name=
set txt_name=
rd dummydir
=====================================
