I don't know about plain DOS, as I only use Take Command (a command-line
replacement by JPSoft, see www.jpsoft.com). Take Command has a @FIELD
function which can split a string into smaller parts. I haven't really
been able to get this to work yet, and I'm not sure whether plain old
DOS has a similar option.
Alternatively, could you include the call to FME in a batch file and
them simply add a rename command in there?
ren *.dgn.dxf *.dxf
would do the trick
