Apologies - just realized it should be: (childitem not children)
get-childitem *.pdb* | rename-item -NewName {$_.BaseName + '.pdb' }

You could use powershell
e.g.
get-children *.pdb* | rename-item -NewName {$_.BaseName + '.pdb' }

Subject: Renaming Files Named Complexly
****
If Ed's Script were working, I would have labeled the subject:
[NF] Renaming Files Named Complexly
I have about 100 files named such as:
Automobiles.PDB desktop # 2014-01-20 23-17-17
I want to rename all of them for example:
Automobiles.PDB
Using a DOS window, I tried
REN *.PDB* *.PDB
This command resulted in no change.
Thank you.
Charles
