Is there a program, for windows, that will rename a bunch of files with information contained in a text file.
I realize that, with Linux, it is very easy to so this with a "3 line" shell script, but I don't have Linux installed and I don't feel like writing a "3 page" Java program with windows.

Why not use something simpler then, like Python (http://www.python.org).
You could easily do something like this with Python in relatively few lines.
By the way, this has nothing to do with audio so I've moved it to the off-topic section.
Or even easier you could do it with a batch file
Or even easier you could do it with a batch file
FOR /F "tokens=1,2 delims='='" %%i in (textfile.txt) DO MOVE %%i %%j
Just 1 line needed, this presumes that the format of the text file is
oldname=newname
FOR /F "tokens=1,2 delims='='" %%i in (textfile.txt) DO MOVE %%i %%j
Just 1 line needed, this presumes that the format of the text file is
oldname=newname
Hmmm... tried that, got "Syntax error"!
Win98. Changed "textfile.txt" to match the file I was using. Otherwise my batch file was exactly as above.
Which OS you using?
This only works in NT-based OSes

Win98 (as I said above). More to the point which OS should I be using?
Edit: Thanks Eugene, your reply wasn't there when I first re-opened this page.
Cheers,

You might want to get 4DOS then. But the syntax is different, IIRC.
