I've got a legacy type problem. We switched from using an on-site system to using a managed server for our EDI communication at work. Seems to be working fine in general, except for a filename issue.
We used to get our 830 files named in this format Rxxxxxxx. with the x being hex numbers. Our Access program that updates our databases is set up to use this naming format, and I don't have the skills yet to change it.
The 830 files we are getting from the managed server look like this: 830_ib.EDI_20160924_231249_1442392
I can manually rename the files in about 15 to 20 minutes once a week. But I'd like to automate the process. Can anybody point me to a guide that would let me write a batch/cmd file that would take all 830_ib.x files and rename them in the Rxxxxxxx. style? The exact numbering isn't critical, they just need to not have duplicates and be 0123456789ABCDEF characters, other than the initial R.
Thanks!
