i found information on how to bulk rename file extensions using ms dos here.

but i have a question for programmers.

RENAME [drive:][path][directoryname1 | filename1] [directoryname2 | filename2]

EXAMPLES

Rename all text files to files with .bak extension.

rename *.txt *.bak

does that mean you include the path to the directory you want in the command like

c:\documents\pictures\*.jpg *.bmp

?

perhaps it was a different one.

just for future ref if you ever wanna try the one i was talking about:

iirc, to rename extensions you have to first tell it to suppress the extension entirely on the bunch of files you wanna treat, then apply the new extension on them. it's a two stop process, but the utility is so fast it doesn't really matter.
