Need help changing extensions

[FredLocks]

I am running Win 98SE. I am downloading game demos of RTCW with a .dm_59 extension. I need to change that to a .dm_60. I tried renaming when I downloaded but it keeps the .dm_59. How can I do this.

Thanks

I would copy it to root, then go the DOS promt and type: rename a. dm_59 a.dm_60

Im not that familiar with dos....is a the demo name??

You could use the wildcard symbol "*" instead of "a" eg rename *. dm_59 space *. dm_60

So like this either:

rename demo.dm_59 demo.dm_60
or
rename *.dm_59 *.dm_60 (this will change all my demos?????)

sorry to make you go into so much detail, dos was a long time ago for me 🙂

Yes; I had 160 .wma files I wanted to change into MP3s so I copied all the wma files into a folder on the root directory navigated into the folder then typed "rename *.wma *.MP3" all 160 wma files were trhen changed tp MP3s.

PS space between *.wma and *.MP3
