Batch Script - Take user input and rename+move files

[Circaflex]

I am having difficulty with a script for work; what I am looking to do is allow the user to input a string, then the replacement string and the script will rename the files in the directory and move them to a location. I was able to get the user input and rename to work, however I am clearly not doing something correctly for the move function. Here is my code:

 

@echo off
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
set /p "string1=Enter the sequence to be replaced : "
set /p "string2=Enter the new sequence  : "
for %%F in (*%string1%.*) do (
  set "filename=%%F"
  ren "!filename!" "!filename:%string1%=%string2%!"
)
& move "C:\myfilepath\*.xlsx" "C:\newfilepath\"

I think my issue I am not inserting the move command in the proper area, I have tried including it before the ) as well, with no luck. This is not my forte; however I think I have the logic correct its merely where to add it?

For the file moves, just do something like this:

 

:: move .xlsx files
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir *.xlsx /s /b') do move "%%a" .\dest

BUMP anyone?

Here is a CMD file that produces a VBS Inputbox that takes the user input and Echo it back out in CMD Prompt. This is only a template so you would have to work out rename and move things.
