Rename only extension

Postby mslaga » Sat Sep 30, 2017 9:05 pm

I'm looking to rename extensions on files only, keep the name.

I tried searching here but didn't find anyone renaming extensions.

Trying to rename *.txt to *.ps1.

Any help appreciated!
Thanks!

You don't need regular expressions for this :wink:

On the menu bar go to Renaming Options / Ignore / File Extensions (make sure this is checked).

Replace (3)
Replace: .txt
With: .ps1

That worked like a champ!

If it possible to select a directory and have it rename all files in sub directories under it?

To show all the files in sub-folders:

Filters (12)
Subfolders: checked

If you don't want to see the folders as well as the files deselect Folders.
