Solved

Hello,
I am looking to rename a folder "Mas Ist" to "Masu" with a .bat file

The command looks like this:

ren localhost\Mas Ist Masu

The problem is that the folder name "Mas Ist" has a space in it, and the MS-DOS command cannot rename it because it doesn't know if the first folder is called "Mas" or "Mas Ist"

I hope you understand!

Waiting for your responses...

Hi,

cd [directory path where the folder to be renamed is located]
ren "Mas Ist" "Masu"

and make sure to use the quotes ;)

Cool, thanks a lot!!!
I had everything right, it's just that I forgot the quotes in my .bat file!

Thanks again, see you later!
