I need to rename a text file using either a batch file or a vbscript. The format of the txt file is received as A353XXXXXXXX.txt and I need it to be renamed to simply A353.txt. The X’s are never the same but the A353 is always the same. All scripts that I have tried are not executing properly. I need it to rename the file by the first four characters of the file name. It seems easy but it is giving me fits for some reason.
