Need to delete first 12 characters in files and folders recursively
Hi All,
I have a unique problem. I have a folder with 40 subfolders and about 700+ files that I need to parse the names to remove the first 12 characters.
Example:
“1160565675::10-5 Compass Team Meeting Minutes.doc”
rename to
“10-5 Compass Team Meeting Minutes.doc”
The files have various extensions (doc, xls, pdf, tif, txt and ppt) and many have spaces, underscores, dashes or brackets "()".
Any easy way of doing that recursively thru all the files and subfolders?
Thanks
Ray
