How do you do a global find and replace of extensions on files in a folder?

[RayLopez99]

There must be some freeware on this.

Say you want to change all files in a folder from *.xyz to *.abc
extension.

"change[<n>]":#change file extensions
(
Key("f2/10")+
Key("end/10")+
Key("backspace:3/10")+
Text(r'abc')+
Pause("20")+
Key("enter/20")+
Key("enter/20")+#dismiss prompt
Key("down/10")
)
*Repeat(extra="n")+

Requires NaturallySpeaking and Dragonfly.

You don't say which of the many operating systems you want it for, but
if it's a Micosoft one, the answer is:

ren *.xyz *.abc

Absolutely free.

That looks like it's been abandoned - no new activity since 2005.
Probably does the job OK anyway.

I like Bulk Rename Utility:

Horror of horrors. I'm so lazy -- my Lupas hasn't been updated since
Feb. 2000.

And there's this one that I saw mentioned in the comments for Batch
File Renamer:

There seem to be quite a few of this type of utility.

I've used this one for years:

http://www.fileol.com/utilities/rname-it-3.1.1.c.html

It says it's for Win95/98/NT (which it worked well in), but I'm still using it on my XP desktop and my Win7 laptop. I've
never used it on a 64-bit system, so I can't vouch for that, but it has worked famously on all the 32-bit systems I've
used from Win95 through Win7.

When would you need to do that?

This looks like a good one, thanks.

You're welcome. I like it's versatility, even if it is an old program.
