Hello,
Is there any way to use the dir command / some DOS Script to select only first file of similar pattern of files in a direcotory and rename it
for example, one directory has 5 files
abc_1005.txt
abc_5256.txt
abc_2001.txt
abc_2003.txt
abc_3006.txt
by use script i would like to select only first file abc_1005.txt and rename(move) it as abc.txt;
For next run, directory has 4 files, script returns the first file as abc_5256.txt and rename it as abc.txt...
In unix, the we can use a single line command as
mv `ls /u01/opt/incoming/abc_*.txt | head -1 ` abc.txt
i just wondering is ther any similar command or script in DOS?
Thanks for your help,
