Syntax
Renames a file/directory or files/directories.
RENAME [drive:][path][directoryname1 | filename1] [directoryname2 |
filename2]
REN [drive:][path][directoryname1 | filename1] [directoryname2 | filename2]
Note that you cannot specify a new drive or path for your destination.
Examples
rename c:\chope hope
Rename the directory chope to
hope.
rename *.txt *.bak
Rename all text files to files with .bak extension.
rename * 1_*
Rename all files to begin
with 1_. The
asterisk (*) in this example is an example of a
wild
character; because nothing was placed before or after the
first asterisk, this means all files in the current directory
will be renamed with a 1_ in front of the file. For example, if
there was a file named hope.txt it would be renamed to 1_pe.txt.
- Additional examples about renaming files and
directories in MS-DOS and other operating systems can also be
found in document CH000846.
