C:\Whitson>brc32 /minlen:14 /insert:whit:start /autonumber:Start:1Increment:1Mod
e(P|)Seperator:Base:10Pad:3 /nofolders
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

This is the command I am trying to run. I have the brc32 exe in the same folder as the files I am trying to rename. What am I missing? I am basically trying to take any file in this folder with 14 characters or more and rename them to a file with whit001 and then sequencially from there.

Specifying /autonumber parameters

/AutoNumber:start:increment:mode:separator:base:pad are never actually typed
Only their values are input, separated by colons (blank param values spec'd by ::)

To rename OrigFileNames -> whit001, whit002, etc:
brc32 /minlen:14 /nofolders /removename /prefix:whit /AutoNumber:1:1:s::10:3
