Rename question

[born2achieve]

I have bat file and i need to rename files in the folder of one server from another server.

Below the sample i tried and didn't work.

Code: Select all

Ren "\\178.70.140.230\Development\Company\*.txt" "*.bak"

but it's not changing the extension Any suggestion please how to achieve this.

Use the FOR command to iterate through the list of files and then do the rename.

Just like we showed you in this question.

Weird; ren *.txt *.bak should totally work.

Try

Code: Select all

pushd "\\178.70.140.230\Development\Company\"
ren *.txt *.bak
popd

I tested this and it worked.

Code: Select all

ren "\\Server\Share\Squashman\rename\*.txt" *.bak
