  • Thread-topic: delete first 3 characters in a file name

Does anybody know how to delete the first 3 characters of a variable file name?

meaning:
select a couple of files in a folder all starting with 001_test, 103_test2, 203_test3 for example
then rename them to test1, test2, test3.....

any input would be appreciated


kind regards,jan
