Move a copy of unknown named images and rename - Powershell or Batch Script

Solution 1:

How can I copy 10 files to a new directory and rename them with a pattern?

Use the following batch file (test.cmd):

@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "source_dir=f:\test\jpg"
set "target_dir=f:\test\target"
for /f "tokens=*" %%f in ('dir /b %source_dir%\*.jpg') do (
  set /a "count+=1"
  set /a "target_count=!count!+100"
  copy "%source_dir%\%%f" "!target_dir!\e!target_count!.jpg" > nul
  if !count! EQU 10 goto :done
  )
rem finished
:done
endlocal

Notes:

• Change source_dir and target_dir as appropriate

Example:

> dir jpg
 Volume in drive F is Expansion
 Volume Serial Number is 3656-BB63

 Directory of F:\test\jpg
