Hi All,

I have 800 PDF files in a folder. All the PDF's have an unique number followed by -Layout1

I need to rename all these files in such a way -Layout1 is removed.

Existing:

1. 40322abr-Layout1

2. 40322abs-Layout1

3. 40322abt-Layout1

4. 40322abu-Layout1

Output Required:

1. 40322abr

2. 40322abs

3. 40322abt

4. 40322abu

Can anyone help me with a macro or batch file to do this?

Please note, i cannot use any external tool here.

Looking for help.

Regards,@

You can rename one file with the REN command. You can rename 800 files with 800 REN commands. It should not be too hard to write a script or mess around in Word or Excel to create a BAT file with 800 REN commands, if your company policies force this.
