rename multiple files by file.rename or other functions
Hi John,
Thanks to Jim for pointing out the file.rename() function. You can try this:

rename multiple files by file.rename or other functions

I have 50 files whose names are
XYZW01Genesis_ABC.mp3
XYZW02Genesis_ABC.mp3

XYZW50Genesis_ABC.mp3

01Gen02.mp3
.......
01Gen50.mp3
If I store them in one folder and write an R code in that folder, how can
it be...
