    Nasha.Rasha.2010.720p.BluRay.Rus.HDCLUB.mkv.003

    basically append a zero after the last . in the file extension

    so far i got

    ren *.mkv.0? *.00?

    which isnt working

    other ideas: write a for loop that iterates thru each file and renames it to *.00i where i is the counter


    thanks

    You may wish to consider Batch File Renamer free download. Batch renames files or folders in a selected directory. File names can be completely changed (incremental number, rename with meta variables), or edit...

    Batch File Renamer is inconsistent and does not work proper.
    I have tried using it a number of times, and it just fails horribly.

    Here are some better alternatives
    Ant Renamer
    WildRename
    ReNamer

    There are many others out there as well. These are just a couple

    Why don't you give Bulk Rename Utility a try. I use that little Program for years now and it never let me down.
    It even integrates into the context menu and lets you apply numbering and you can define the step.If that's not enough it even lets you use roman numerals or anything between Base2 and Base 36.
