Replace file extension

Postby cmatrix » Sat Apr 20, 2024 6:52 pm

I want to replace the extension of all files with a different extension. So file_1.doc and file_2.xls become file_1.pdf and file_2.pdf. It should work with any extension.

I tried using section RegEx (1) with ^(.*)$ in the Match and pdf in the Replace but this replaces the front part not the extension.

What is the correct way to do this?

Change all file extensions to .pdf

With Extensions(11) can just choose "Fixed" with a string like pdf

All other-settings need a checkmark for "Renaming Options, File/Folder Extensions, Rename File Extensions".
So if wanting to use that checkmark, RegEx(1) could then use a "Match" and "Replace" like...
(.+\.)[^.]+$
