Looking at this one below, what if you remove the extra _%f from the command ?
For /f “tokens=1,2,3,4 delims=_” %d in (‘dir /b /ad *’) do @echo ren %d_%e_%f_%f_%g %d_YourStuff_%f_g From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Melvin Backus Sent: Wednesday, November 4, 2015 6:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Rename Directories You need to use a for loop and tokenize the name. In your example try: For /f “tokens=1,2,3,4 delims=_” %d in (‘dir /b /ad *’) do @echo ren %d_%e_%f_%f_%g %d_YourStuff_%f_g Once everything looks correct remove the echo to execute. If you put it into a batch file you’ll need to use %% instead of %. -- There are 10 kinds of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

The directories are named in this manner AL1030004_502010109H_20151102_163916 I need to replace the middle 502010109H with OutProcessedABS so it would become AL1030004_OutProcessedABS_20151102_163916 I think I need to instead use a for loop, but I cannot get that syntax right either Any quick suggestions?
