How would I write a batch file which will name files in a directory like Windows Explorer auto rename?

change this

     A.mp4
     B.mp4  
     C.mp4
     DD.mp4 

to this

     (1).mp4
     (2).mp4   
     (3).mp4
     (4).mp4   

Answer 1

Try this instead:

ren C:\Path\beforefilename.mp4 afterfilename.mp4

Example:

ren C:\Path\A.mp4 (1).mp4

Result is Filename A.mp4 changed to (1).mp4
