Need help with a bulk file extension change issue

Postby TheTrackBallGuy » Sun Jan 15, 2023 3:35 pm

Hello all, I'm kinda stuck and was looking for a bit of help. I got a new emulator gaming device and I messed up loading some roms to it. I have two sets of Sega Game Gear roms, some with a .gg (lowercase extension) and some with a .GG (uppercase extension). I've been trying to separate the two files all morning in Windows by simply selecting the different extensions (upper and lower case) with no luck. Then I thought why don't I just change the lower case game gear extensions to something different in BRU with the replace/with feature, something like replace .gg with .gg7 and then use the Windows find feature to move them into separate folders, do what I need to do, change the extension back to .gg and move them back to the main folder, but the replace/with feature won't recognize the extensions at all. I've been using BRU for years and I thought that was possible, but I guess it's not. Anywho, that's my current dilemma, I hope someone can help. Just in case you're curious or it's needed, I'm using the most current version of BRU and I'm using it on Windows 10. Thanks!
