Hi everyone,
I need some help with a batch file im trying to write to mame the renaming of my Podcasts alot easier. I want to do this because in the dd-mm-yyyy format they do not sort properly by name.

The filename buildup is as follows:

"Always the same startpart"[space]dd-mm-yyyy.mp3 and i need it to be renamed to "Always the same start part"[space]yyyymmdd.mp3

All help is appteciated!
Ps. I do have some basic knowledge of batch and already have beennsearching for a bit now and still couldnt find it so i decided to post my question here.

Pps. Please forgive me any spelling mistakes because im kinda tired and its 05:40 here atm ^^.
