Is this possible? (batch file question)

[edm]

I'm updating player photo's to use with mvpreader.

All photo's in the folder are named using this format "Cory Sullivan.jpg", and I need to get them like this "Sullivan_Cory.jpg"

are there any bat file commands that will do this automatically?

thanks

The command below should change a file name from 'Cory Sullivan.jpg' to 'Sullivan_Cory.jpg':

REN Cory Sullivan.jpg Sullivan_Cory.jpg

I'm not sure how to do it on a mass level :(

I just wrote a program for you. It gets a list of all of the files in the current directory. And then it renames the files like you said.

So:

First Last.jpg

becomes

Last_First.jpg

It won't work perfectly, but it should work well enough for most names.

Names that have periods and/or extra spaces in them, you will need to fix.

works like a charm, thanks tywiggins. I really appreciate it. This will save me a lot of time :)
