Ok thank you for confirming that. It must be a connection lag issue with the network drive then.

Hi Batcher. I been using the code you wrote for a while now and it works really well so thank you for that. However, sometimes I am noticing that I am having trouble deleting files in the folders that your code auto creates on a network drive. I am just trying to figure out if the network drive secu...

Thank you very much. It's working great except I had some dates that were already formatted correctly and those got messed up. Is there a way you could add a feature that if the date is already in YYYY.MM.DD format, just leave it alone? If not, no worries. I will just make a note in the code to be ...

I have PDF files that have dates in the file name. I would like to keep the exact date for each of these files but change the format of the date. Couple examples for how the filenames are read: AB TALLY 01.01.24.pdf (date is mm.dd.yy) AB ABCDEFG 12.25.23.pdf (date is mm.dd.yy) I would like it to cha...

"!NewName!" e...

Original File Name
ABC - Deposit 07-05-23.pdf

New File Name:
ABC TALLY 07.05.23.pdf

I have a ton of PDF files in a folder. It is named in this format: ABC - Deposit 07-05-23.pdf I would like a batch file to replace the "- Deposit" with "TALLY" instead. If possible, I would also like the date format to be replaced from MM/DD/YY.pdf to MM.DD.YY.pdf. So basically remove the dashes in ...
