I would like to rename those files as <DATE>_<SrNo>.jpg. and move all the files in single folder called All_pics
The SrNo is a continous running number serial number.

C:\All_pics\

Cygwin? CMD scripting? LINUX dual boot?

This does all but the - to _ change (necessary?), and with a little work, can pick up the date components separately:

find 20[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9] -name '*.jpg' -type f | sed '
 s/^\(.*\)\/[a-z]*\([0-9]*.jpg)/mv & All_pics\/\1_\2/
 ' | ksh

Sorry I wasn't clear earlier, how can it be done in DOS ?

Thanks

You can make a listing and use MS Word to convert it to the right DOS script? sed works in DOS, too. You could install Cygwin on C:\cygwin and use it.

I did not expect the URL: The UNIX and Linux Forums - Learn UNIX and Linux from Experts.unix.com/windows-dos-issues-discussions/ My dos/CMD is a bit rusty.

c=1
Dir["2010-*"].sort.each do |x|
  Dir["#{x}/*.jpg"].each do |w|
    pa,f=File.split(w)
    newname=File.join(pa,"#{pa}_#{c}.jpg")
    File.rename(w, newname)
    c+=1
  end
end

Are you happy working at the "cmd" prompt with Batch files?

All the variable names you need are available within modern versions of Batch. You don't mention the version of Windows.

At the "cmd" prompt, see the help text and examples:

for /?
