For example, if you want to rename all TXT files to have a TEXT
extension, you??™d type REN *.TXT *.TEXT and press Enter.
NOTE Unlike in Windows Explorer, the Ren and Rename commands won??™t constantly ask you
about file extension changes. Although this means you??™ll spend less time clicking the Yes button,
it also means that you could accidentally rename files that you didn??™t want to rename.
filename2 Defines the new file or directory name. If you use a wildcard character for filename1,
then you generally have to use a wildcard character with this argument as well. When in doubt,
always test the renaming strategy using sample files.
Performing Robust File Transfers with the
RoboCopy Command
RoboCopy is a sort of super XCopy utility, in that you can copy a large number of files from one
location to another. However, RoboCopy also provides a considerable number of file selection
options and even job options, so that you can submit a copy requirement as a job. The source and
destination can include Universal Naming Convention (UNC) paths, in addition to the standard
paths. Unlike XCopy, you don??™t have to resort to odd logging methods because RoboCopy has
them built in so you can see precisely what happened during the copying process.
