vbscript - copy and rename files of a certain extension via batch file

Question

I have a folder that has a bunch of files such image_hello.png, helloworld.png, wired.png. I would like to copy these files and then rename them as 1.png, 2.png, 3.png via script or batch file

I am not sure what the best way to start this is, i can copy over the files easily, but after that, i am not sure how to rename them based on the extension.

Any ideas?

Something like this:

@echo off
SET count=1
FOR /f "tokens=*" %%G IN ('dir /b *.png') DO (call :rename_next "%%G")
GOTO :eof

:rename_next
ren "%1" %count%.png
set /a count+=1
GOTO :eof
