Batch Rename

I have a large batch file that copies pdf files from one network directory to
another. It works great! Now, I was wondering if it is possible to create a
batch file that copies the files and renames them? (It would be really cool
if I could use a wildcard some how that would allow me to add the date on the
end of the file name!)

I did some playing around with the "RENAME" command, but I could not get it
to work with spaces in the file name. I need to maintain the spaces in these
file names, so is there a way to make this work? As I alluded to above, I
would like to add the date to the end of the file name. If a wild card can't
be used, I will just get it setup manually once, open the file in Excel and
use the replace command.

Thanks!

Eric
