I'm at a halt... What I want to do insert a word in the front of about 300 files...

i.e. add '(NES)' to the name of the file so FNAME.NES would be renamed to '(NES)FNAME.NES'...

I've looked through the help index in QB but I can't figure it out. I understand alot about filespec and all that so you can use the technical langauge. :)


Any ideas?

Thanks.
 
I'm not entirely sure of what your asking
This might be of help (Its been a long time since I've used DOS, so I'm not sure if this is right)

SHELL "rename c:\folder\*.* c:\folder\nes*.*"

You might be a redneck if... you think a megabyte is a good day of fishing.
