Hi every one :)

I want to know how to rename files in subfolders using DOS command?

E.X I have foder called My music under it I have 80 folders (artist name) , each folder have *.ram files .
I want to rename all of *.ram files to *.rm.

You can use rename *.ram *.rm - you will have to be in the folder or specify it. I do not think the native DOS commands will rename in multiple sub-folders otherwise.

Hi,

Rick is correct.

OBW

1. There are no folders in DOS. There are files, directories and not much else.

2. If you have directories created by w9x/NT they will be truncated by DOS. So your "my music" will probably show as "mymusc~1" or similar.

that is mean I should go inside all folders and issue this command

ren *.ram *.rm

I will do it 80 times :(

Thanks

There is a way: XCOPY
Example;

XCOPY C:\ABC\*.ram C:\FIN\*.rm /S

(one line above)
Then delete the old files. One might think that this would be slower than rename, not so.

Best
