   Sure.   
      
   I suspect you could move do the following too:   
      
       move gdgfdgfg.MP3 temp\gdgfdgfg.mp3   
       move temp\gdgfdgfg.mp3 gdgfdgfg.mp3   
      
   I'm guessing that gdgfdgfg.MP3 and gdgfdgfg.mp3 are effectively the same   
   file.

   How is your batch file being called?   
      
   > "path-of-file-with\"empty"filename-without-ext".MP3   
      
   I'm not sure I'm tracking what you are saying there?   
      
   Is "empty" a representation for white space in the file name?  Or is it   
   a parameter separation?

   Do you want the (path+)filename-without-extension to be the argument to   
   the batch?  Or do you want the batch to receive   
   (path+)filename-with-extension and do the proper conversions for you?   
   (I would think the latter.)

   The quotation marks around the parameters makes sense and (I think) is   
   an artifact of being able to handle parameters with white spaces in them.   
      
   I'm not sure what you mean by "both parameters" or "and the ending".

   Which batch environment are you running in?   
      
   Seeing as how you're talking about spaces and quoting parameters, I'm   
   guessing it's not classic MS-DOS (et al).   
      
   It's been a REALLY LONG TIME since I've used this, but I seem to recall   
   that for had options to specify files names with(out) path and / or   
   extensions.  So you'd do something like this:   
      
       for %f in (path\gdgfdgfg.MP3) do   
          rem something   
      
   Where the parameters to for tell it that you want it to strip the   
   extension and / or the path.  You might have to do each in separate steps.   
      
   I think that you'd rather have the wrong extension passed to the batch   
   file, instead of assuming that it's ".MP3", so that it could work with   
   other extensions too.   
      
   For might even have an option to simply change the case of what's passed   
   to it.  Thus enabling you to make your batch even more extension agnostic.
