To verify the solution I created 5 files ABCD12345.jpg, ABCD12346.jpg, ABCD12347.jpg ... and so on > Any suggestions for a quick and dirty (and > cheap/free) batch utility to do > this? The I issued the following command in the DOS prompt ren ABCD?????.txt PQRS?????.txt That did the trick. If I understood your problem corectly, no further software is neccessary. Limitations: This will only work as long as the intention is not to change the final length of the name. If this works then this can be turned into a batch command.
