REN "%%~dpnA"
"%%~dpnA_%#LogDate%-%#LogTime%%%~xA"
04. ) |
%%~dpnA = Drive, Path and FileName only (no extension)
%%~xA = Extension only, including the . prefix (".doc")
The above example will append "_yyyymmdd-hhmnss" to each filename matching the FileSpec while preserving the
correct extension.
For example, if FileSpec = "*.doc", each file matching *.doc will be renamed to
"OriginalDocumentName_20030101-070530.doc"
