Todd, I believe you were a bit hasty in your response. The double
quotes are only part of the answer. I think you were misled by the
unnecessary use of the 'dir /b' and the /F switch. The argument to
the rename subroutine will already be parsed at the space before it
arrives as a parameter to the subroutine call.

Good point. I forgot to remove /f and replace 'dir /b' with "Picture *.jpg"
to prevent reprocessing the same files (which will likely occur using
*.jpg).

Right. A point that I missed.
