for /f "Tokens=*" %%s in ('dir /b *_new.htm') set file=%%s&call :rename
endlocal
goto :EOF
:rename
set newname=%file:_new=%

Somehow the do got lost
for /f "Tokens=*" %%s in ('dir /b *_new.htm') do set file=%%s&call :rename

endlocal
goto :EOF
:rename
set newname=%file:_new=%
rename %file% %newname%

Hello Jerold,
without having seen this, I just posted a similar solution using delayed
expansion in ambnt.

@echo off & setlocal EnableExtensions ENableDelayedExpansion
for /F "tokens=*" %%A in ('dir /B /A-D test_*.*') do (
set N_=%%A
ren "%%A" "!N_:test_=!"
)
