The following uses a variable with a for loop to rename a group of files.
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for %%j in (*.*) do (
set filename=%%~nj
set filename=!filename:old=new!
set filename=Prefix !filename!
set filename=!filename! Suffix
ren "%%j" "!filename!%%~x...
for /L %%A in (1,2,40) do echo %%A
This line will iterate from 1 to 39, increasing by 2 each time.
The first parameter, 1, is the starting number.
The second parameter, 2, is the increment.
The third parameter, 40, is the maximum.
