title: Batch File Rename - Batch File needs to move from folder to folder
body: <p>New to batch file writing. We are unable to install a file renamer program at work so i am looking to find a way to create a batch file to do the job instead. I want to create a batch file that i can place in a folder and it will rename all files in that folder with a prefix, while deleting some text from the file name itself. I am happy to edit the prefix text (as it changes all the time) in Notepad each time but I need to be able to move the batch file to the different folders. </p>
  
  <p>The files will be something like this RDS_117856.pdf</p>
  
  <p>and they need to read as xxx-xxx-xxx-117856.pdf</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be great. </p>
  
  <p>I am using windows, only have access to Notepad and no other coding software so a .BAT file would be the easiest thing to create here. </p>
