Problem

Solutions: The REN (or RENAME) command renames the specified filename to a new name in the search directory. Wildcards can be used if conditions permit. REN 1.X 1X Renames the file 1.X to 1X. REN C:\*.BK1 *.BAK Renames all files with a BK1 extension in the root directory to the same filename, but with a BAK extension. Note: This will only work if there are currently no files in the directory that have filenames equal to the resulting filenames. Hence, if you have a file or a directory called TEMP and you try to rename another file to TEMP, you will receive an error message. REN * *.TXT Renames all files with no extension to files with the same name, but with a TXT extension. See also 1098_WP50.
