Hi,

I have a 50 files in a folder which will contain a same name in the starting seperated by a dot and then the original filename.

How can i rename that group of files in that folder by the name after that dot in the file.

Eg:

testing.wardrope.txt
testing.bracket.txt
testing.braces.txt

Share your thoughts.

Use the Split function with the full-stop (period) as the separator, then use CopyFile to copy the original to the new name, followed by file deletion of the original.

Nice dodge: you can "access" the elements of the array returned by Split directly, as in:

strPart1 = Split(arrFilename, ".")(0)
strPart2 = Split(arrFilename, ".")(1)

and so on.
