Simple Way To Remove First 3 Characters From All Files In A Directory?

[supadodger]

i know how to create my array and all that using the directory i just want to remove 3 characters from every file after i select the directory...

i found this : http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=99339&st=0&p=713322&hl=FileRename%20Remove%20Characters&fromsearch=1&#entry713322

but it seems more complicated than what i need...

quick example worked fine for me :

$file = "01-JADAKISS - U STILL HATIN (Free HQ Mp3).avi"
$file = StringTrimLeft($file, 3)

[legoman1]

try filefindfirstfile and filefindnextfile to get each file name,

use stringtrimleft to remove the left 3 characters,

then use filemove to rename each file.

your example merely stripped the left the left 3 characters from your variable, not your file name.

btw im not gonna write it for you.
