| | How to prepend a filename with a pattern string? Assume I have an unknown filename (in a variable) with a path like D:\myproject\data\myfilename.txt Now I would like to prepend the filename with a string "aaa" so that the new filename looks like D:\myproject\data\aaamyfilename.txt How can I do this inside a VBS script?

Alternatively you could use the File System Object like so: sName = "D:\myproject\data\myfilename.txt" Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") WScript.echo oFSO.GetParentFolderName(sName) & "\aaa" & oFSO.GetFileName(sName) |
