    You replaced my Cliff Richard files with Jimmy Saville files.

    Bastard.

    Yeah that's my go to syntax, hence the post.

    That renames everything T_Cblah so it just removes the R.

    Weird.

    Can't you powershell it instead?

    get-childitem *.* | rename-item -newname { [string]($_.name).substring(3)}

    Or use my syntax which works without having to do things the American way

    I think underscores are fucking it up basically because my syntax should work. I'll have a dabble.

    Cheers.

    You can execute powershell from a command prompt, you n00b.

    I want to list the names of all the video files on my nas and output them to a text file. I don't know how to do that exactly. I know the ip address but am not sure of the path. Any ideas?

    edit: I worked it out. I was trying to write a file to C:\ which doesn't seem to be allowed.
