Hye everyone..Such a nice forum..I am very new to using MS-DOS as a scripting language so please forgive my (hopefully) easy question. What I am trying to do is to create a batch file command to find all the file with .XML extension and rename it to .tmp extension. After this create a second batch file to rename from .tmp back to .xml extension. Can anyone help me on this matter.

Thank you so much.

Welcome to the forum!

To rename all .XML files to .tmp, simply use wildcards:

Code: Select all

@echo off
ren *.XML *.tmp

And to rename the .tmp files back to .XML, just do the reverse

Code: Select all

@echo off
ren *.tmp *.XML

Please note that this will only rename files in the folder path in %CD%

Hope this helps!!
