| Is there a way to change the extension on 700+ files at once? I just got 768 SNES roms and none of them have an extension. I changed some of them to check them, and they work, but I dont want to do it 1 by 1. Is there some way to changed the extension on all of them at once? | |||

| Oh, that took me a little bit to do. There was no file extension at all. Like All Stars was simply "Mario All Stars" no extension at all. So I just put ren *. *.smc | |||

Well I'll be damned... I didn't know you could rename with wildcards. I just do "dir /b > names.txt", open names.txt in Textpad, and use some regular expressions to turn each filename into a rename command. Bam, instant batch file.  |

| Just for posterity, if you want to mass rename a group of files - photos from your camera, perhaps - just select them all and edit the name of the first file and the rest will adjust. It works in XP, but I don't know if it works in older versions of Windows since I just found out two years ago. | |||

Depends if you flee in panic whenever you see a command prompt or not.  |

| nah... it's my opinion that the Windows Explorer is not built to be very featureful. Heh, I copied winfile.exe from NT4 onto my Win2k so I have a better GUI file manager. |

Originally posted by JesperHeh, that's why i'm afraid that not many people is going to watch on me when I show my programme in the exhibition we have in two days. It's run in a command prompt.  What do I use the most in Windows to look after things? Well... it's the run command. XD |
