 === Rename List of Files With Batch File ===
 It's easy to rename a group of files by running a [[wikipedia:Batch file|batch file]] (<tt>file.bat</tt>), configured something like this:
-<pre>
+<pre>rename "Old-File_001.jpg" "New-File_001.jpg"
 rename "Old-File_002.jpg" "New-File_002.jpg"
-rename "Old-File_003.jpg" "New-File_003.jpg"
+rename "Old-File_003.jpg" "New-File_003.jpg"</pre>
 # Using a simple text editor (such as [[wikipedia:Notepad++|Notepad++]]), just create your [[wikipedia:Batch file|batch file]] using the format shown above.
 # Save the file as <tt>rename.bat</tt> (or similar name) in the same folder containing the files you want to rename.
 # Double-click your batch file (e.g. <tt>rename.bat</tt>) to rename the files to the new file name.
