Mass Change Extensions Within a Folder? - GoFuckYourself.com

Hey,

I have about 9000 Html files that I want changing to .php

How can I do this? I have advanced find and replace but I don't know it it can change extensions? Any idea?

in DOS

ren *.html *.php

Actually, thinking about it I could rewrite them in .htaccess? How would I do this?

Thanks but despite being born in the 70's I don't still work with 70's tech.

I know how to open dos but I presume that would rename every html file on my pc to php wouldn't it?
How do I restrict it to a folder.

Try total commander http://www.ghisler.com/download.htm

Navigate to the folder, highlight by right-clicking (keep pressed) and dragging to highlight all you want renamed then press ctrl+m, change extension and then click "start"

Ps: this works for local folders as well as in ftp ( menu item "Net" then ftp connect)
