Windows scripting - renaming dos files

B

Bob

I'm stumped, wonder if you know if this is possible or not:

I need a script file to run each day that copies photos from one server to

another, then rename the files, getting rid of leading zeroes.

Example:

0010202.jpg needs to be renamed to 10202.jpg

012034.jpg needs to be renamed to 12034.jpg

The filenames are all 6 characters long, but sometimes there are two zeroes

and sometimes there are one. Really it doesn't matter how many zeroes, as

I can just create two separate scripts to handle each type.

Any ideas ?

I've gone as far as playing around in awk on unix to try to get this to

work w/o any luck. I can rename the files correctly renaming the zeroes to

blank spaces, but they can't be blank spaces...

Any help or steering in the right direction would be appreciated !!!!!!!

For Windows scripting questions, try one of the eight Windows scripting
groups that all start with microsoft.public.scripting.

Good luck.
