    I'm looking for a program that gives some flexiblity in batch file renaming. Mainly the ability to delete the first few characters of many files different names at once, but leave the rest of it unchanged. Thanks for any advice on this.

    I've not used any GUI tool, but it's trivial to do in Bash:

    Code:
    CUT_CH=2; IFS="|"; for filename in *; do cp $filename ${filename:CUT_CH}; done
    This would remove CUT_CH characters (in this case 2) from a filename and make a copy. Of course it can be made just to rename but I prefer some safety always.

    If you use Linux or macOS you've got bash, and it's simple to install on Windows, just install Git and you get "Git Bash" that can be used for this.

    *edit:* fixed typo

    I use the same thing it takes some getting use to but it works great.It has a bunch of functions so at least for me it's been up to any task.

    Alex sat at the head of a long banquet table, filled with fruits and vegetables, as well as some type of roasted meat that he couldn't identify. He looked around the outdoor banquet area that had been set up, in his honor, he had been told, awkward and nervous as he watched the women setting the food out. He felt bad for not doing anything to help, but Natalie, who was seated to the right of him, told him to enjoy being served tonight https://besthentaigifs.com , https://bestanimegifs.com/.

    flashmain.gif Flash Renamer (since 1999), does exactly what you asked for, and much more. Works as a shell extension. Has a preview of the results.
    You can find it on warez sites too.
