How to remove extension name?

[mirrorlake]

Could you help me with this issue? I download some files, more than 100, the file name is like this:anandtech.exe.000.zip
so the ZIP is its extension name in MS-DOS, and windows is trying to treat this file like a zip file, but it is not. I want
to remove the "zip" and let the "000" to be the extension name, but I couldn't do it in windows, I could do nothing about the extension name without some specific tools i think. Would you suggest some of these tools for me? Thanx! yeah, i know i could
do it in DOS, but it will be a huge work, and I am lazy. 😱

It won't be hard work in DOS. In the directory of the files in question, just type: rename *.zip *.000 or anything else you want the extensions to be.

well, it is more than 100 files...

And i got it, by file folder option I could let the extension displayed, then I could modificate it in windows.

They don't make warez as easy as they used to do they?

You're not too lazy to download 100+ Warez files, but you are too lazy to manually unzip them?

uh, make a batch file.

duh ;-P

dir/b>a.txt creates a file named a.txt in your directory with the file names.
dir/b/s>a.txt creates a file named a.txt in your directory with file names and subdirectories and their files.

if you have a program that can do global replacing, replace whatever you want... say ".zip" with "" that is .zip with NOTHING!!

save this file as a different name, say b.txt

then open both in a spreadsheet, say excel, and have the first column of a first column be all "ren" and the second column be the contents of "a.txt" and the third be "b.txt"

and save this as a different plain text file.

and edit as necessary in word again.

if you have spaces in the file names, you need this "file name.txt" that is the name of the file has to be in quotes.

ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

go here //editted url, wrong program.

and download rename-it.

I still can't see why command line isn't the optimal solution. Heck it's only one command!

yeah i know... it's either mirrorlake has no idea what he "should" do, or there are a mess of variously named files with various extensions...

in which case, the batch file is the best.

otherwise, rename-it ROCKS ;-) with respect to various other renaming tasks... i renamed my thumbnails for my "site" (not much of a site) etc...
