replace file extentions possible ?

Postby speedy » Thu Oct 30, 2008 10:12 am

Hi there,
I was sucessfully using BRU for File-extention change from *.AVI.FLV to *.FLV - these step was ok.

But I cannot change something like file-extention *.jpg to *.thm, which I need for my foto online community...

I selected 9 files, tried many times with different expression under Repl(3) replace .jpg with .thm or other things, but everything did not work.
Please help me

Hi, Dieter:
You should use the "Extension (11)" field; it's easier. In your case, just set it as:

Fixed: thm

(You don't need the asterisk and the dot here.) Before renaming, just make sure that "Options > Ignore > File Extensions" is uncheked. Hope that helps :wink:
Best regards,

Gabriel.

P.S.: BTW, you should've posted this in the BRU Support section :D. If you do mean BRC, my bad, and here's a command that works for your need:

Code: Select all
BRC32.exe /DIR:"Path to your files" /FIXEDEXT:".thm" /EXECUTE

For file extensions you can just use DOS:


ren *.jpg *.xxx
