I have a long list of files that are auto-produced every month. they'll all have the same file name, with a sequential file extension like this:file.001, file.002, file.003

Each file has differing information, despite having the same name. What I need to do is copy them from their home directory and paste them into a new directory with names that reflect their purpose, and as text files, like this: Budget.txt, Expense.txt, Retention.txt

Is it possible to do this with a batch file? I've been unable to find a method that works. Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: I've tried that solution, and it works as far as it goes. the frustrating thing is that the extensions are not always the same, but always sequentially numbered.

    Your question is incomplete. There is not enough data to solve this problem as stated; otherwise, this would be a valid solution: `move file.001 C:\newDirectory\Budget.txt & move file.002 C:\newDirectory\Expense.txt & move file.003 C:\newDirectory\Retention.txt` – Aacini May 06 '16 at 21:22
