windows - add "text" to end of multiple filenames

Using the code below I add text to end of file names which are:

1.mp3
2.mp3

and should be:

1text.mp3
2text.mp3

but it changed to:

1.mp3text
2.mp3text

Code:

@ECHO ON

FOR %%A IN ("C:\Users\user123\Desktop\mp3\*.mp2") DO (
    CALL :RenameFiles "%%~A" "%%~NXA"
)
GOTO EOF

:RenameFiles

SET fname=%~2
SET renname=%fname=%
REN "%~1" "%renname%text%"
GOTO E

Answer

How do I add "text" to the end of multiple filenames.

Before: 1.mp3 2.mp3

After: 1text.mp3 2text.mp3

There are multiple errors in your batch file, for example:

• *.mp2 should be *.mp3


• goto E - the label :E is missing.


• you dont need to call anything.

Simple working batch file

rem @echo off
setlocal
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for %%a in ("C:\Users\user123\Desktop\mp3\*.mp3") do (
    copy "%%a" "%%~dpnatext%%~xa"
    del "%%a" 
)
endlocal

Notes:

• The batch file will work with any length filename, so for example, 12345.mp3 will be rename to 12345text.mp3

cmd shell solution

You don't need to use a batch file. You can just use:

cd C:\Users\user123\Desktop\mp3\
ren ?.mp3 ?text.mp3

Or:

ren *.mp3 ?text.mp3

Note that the following does not work:

ren *.mp3 *text.mp3

You will get filenames like 1.mp3text.mp3 with that command.

Example:

F:\test>dir *.mp3
 Volume in drive F is Expansion
 Volume Serial Number is 3656-BB63

 Directory of F:\test

29/11/2015  12:52                 0 1.mp3
29/11/2015  12:52                 0 2.mp3
               2 File(s)              0 bytes
               0 Dir(s)  1,777,665,769,472 bytes free

F:\test>ren ?.mp3 ?text.mp3

F:\test>dir *.mp3
 Volume in drive F is Expansion
 Volume Serial Number is 3656-BB63

 Directory of F:\test

29/11/2015  12:52                 0 1text.mp3
29/11/2015  12:52                 0 2text.mp3
               2 File(s)              0 bytes
               0 Dir(s)  1,777,665,769,472 bytes free
