This may appear as a duplicate question but it is not. My problem is a little different. Actually, I had a folder with a lot of mp4 files and I wanted to suffix each of the file names with GOOD. Seeing answers to the previous question I did something and ended up actually suffixing with .mp4good. Thus a file originally a.mp4 became a.mp4good.mp4 instead of aGOOD.mp4 (what I actually wanted). Luckily, all these files are running but the names are not what I wanted. I request help how to get what I want from this point. I used rename command in DOS from the folder containing these files.

As I told before, I followed the answer in original question on the same topic. so I did execute at the command the following: rename *.mp4 *GOOD.mp4 and I did not get what I wanted. Instead of a.mp4 becoming aGOOD.mp4 it became amp4GOOD,mp4. I want now that amp4GOOD,mp4 becomes aGOOD.mp4 – Seetha Rama Raju Sanapala – 2016-09-02T13:20:10.073

@SeethaRamaRajuSanapala - The accepted answer to that linked question is completely WRONG! You should disregard it. – dbenham – 2016-09-02T14:27:11.753
