Check the following thread for a very similar discussion along the lines
of your query:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fo = fso.GetFolder("c:\temp")
For Each fi In fo.Files
fso.CopyFile fi.Path, "c:\temp\renamed\" & UCase(fi.Name)
Next
End Sub

I think all the C++ guys are over on the C# newsgroup. <g>

Anyone interested in a Perl script?

As I said in a previous post, there is a way to do that in C++ but it's
platform dependent. Under Unix/Linux for example, you use the <dirent.h>
library to iterate a directory's files sequentially. You can then use
the rename() function to change each file's name. Windows has a similar
set of APIs for iterating directories and changing their names.

So, can you help me about how to do it in windows or dos?

in dos, you #include <dir.h> and <stdio.h>. The former defines routines
for iterating a directory. stdio.h defines the standard function
rename(), which does exactly what your expect it to do:) Look at the
findfirst() and findnext() functions. The use a struct called ffblk
which represents a directory file. The member ffname contains the file
name, which you can pass as an argument to rename().
