    I have about 400 files that are currently x.txt

    i gotta change them to x.xml, althought i seriously dont want to go thru 400 files.

    I know how to do a mass file name change in linux with a regex, but i cant find anything like the for windows.

    What can i do?

    Hello xi0n101,
    welcome to the Windows BBS ...... :) ...... !

    I have not had the time to check it out but maybe NONAGS - File Management & Tools - Freeware offers a utility that can do what you want?

    Please, post back with your findings/solution!

    ren *.txt *.xml

    ;)


    or for/do loop it if u'r (set) is in and below one folder structure - like all files in c:\t1 and below, the loop would be:

    for /R c:\t1 %i in (*.txt) do ren %i *.xml

    if u batch this, use double %% signs
