MS-DOS Help.

Oh yes, or maybe somebody can suggest an alternative to renaming the file extensions of 780 files, other than manually.

I know i can do the rename command:

ren *.txt *.htm

Thing is, i'd like it to include all sub-directories. I tried

ren *.txt *.htm /S

and it didn't work. No, i haven't got a clue how to use Dos! GUI DAMMIT! Anyone know how to make this command include sub-directories <i>or</i> does anyone know of a program that will do this for me?

I've searched high and low for a windows program to do this for me, and i ain't found shit. I actually found the dos command by accident. Now if only i could figure out how to make it do what i wanted it to do.

Damn! You gotta signup for that site. Sorry dude, but the utility is worth it.

Well, using simple DOS, i would probably just write a batch file. In Windows, go to notepad and write this.

ren *.txt *.htm

save it as *.bat (x.bat for example)

Copy the x.bat file to somewhere that should be in your path, like c:\windows\system

Now from each directory, you can go in and just type in "X" press enter and it should do it.

You can also do it through DOS by doing
EDIT
it SHOULD pop open the DOS editor, depending on the version of windows you have.
save it as x.bat again.
