How to rename file with a new extention

[optiquest]

Hi,
How can I check the directory for files, if the files let say "file.eps" in the directory, then the script will copy to the new directory "A" and create a new text file in a directory "B" with a .txt instead of eps "file.txt". then ftp it to a server.

I can copy the files but I dont know how to change .eps to .txt for every files

thank you

You can change the extension when you copy:

CopyFile>c:\dirA\file.eps,c:\dirB\file.txt

Copying files can take up much time if files are large.
If you only want to rename the file, then use MoveFile with MF__RENAME like this:

Code: Select all

Let>MF_RENAME=1
MoveFile>B:\file.eps,B:\file.txt
...
...
//When done renaming all files, then set MF_RENAME back to default of 0
Let>MF_RENAME=0

But will that leave the .eps in directory "A"?

No, but neither will a rename.

If you want a copy, use the CopyFile command. However, because the system has to duplicate each bit of data (instead of just changing the name of the file), it will take longer.
