I vaguely remember, in DOS, that I could type:
REN DSC*.JPG NAME*.JPG
But that won't handle long files names, plus it's a pain dropping into
the crappy DOS window.
Anyone know a trick or a utility (doesn't have to be free) that can do
this?
Sure - just boot Linux, and do
$for MYFILENAME in `ls` ; do mv "$MYFILENAME" "Thanskgiving$MYFILENAME" ;
Hope This Helps!
