Script to rename files
| Posted by Niranjana, 04-03-2010, 05:47 AM | | I have 100s of pdf files named as follows
1 - New file.pdf
2 - Another_file.pdf
01 - Next pdf file.pdf
5 - One more pdf file.pdf
I want to rename them as:
New file.pdf
Another_file.pdf
Next pdf file.pdf
One more pdf file.pdf
Please suggest a script to do this.

Please note there is spaces for file names, like "New file.pdf", "One more pdf file.pdf", so for loop will count them as separate entries. Any suggestions?
