- NewEXT version 1.4 16.08.94 Lee Kindness
- ========================================
-
- Introduction
- ============
- NewExt is a shell only utility for changing the extension part of
- of a files name. NewExt supports AmigaDOS wildcards making a seemingly
- useless utility useful - Ever tried to rename all the .pic files in a
- directory to .ILBM? NewExt can. WB 2.0+ required.
-
- Usage
- =====
- From the CLI/Shell :-
-
- WILDCARD/A,EXTENSION/A,FRONT/S,HELP/S,INFOS/S
-
- WILDCARD:
- Which files to operate on. Must be given.
-
- EXTENSION:
- The new extension for matched files. Must be given.
-
- FRONT:
- Specifies that the EXTENSION will be changed at the left edge rather than
- the standard right position. Useful for mod.#? etc.
-
- HELP:
- Will print out some information.
-
- INFOS:
- Specifies that the .info files of the files that are being renamed will
- also have their names changed.
-
- Eg/ NewEXT #?.iff .ILBM INFOS will rename all .iffs to .ILBM. including
- their .info files
-
- NewEXT (#?.sample|#?.sfx) .8SVX will rename all .samples and .sfxs to
- .8SVX
-
- NewEXT mod.#? pt3. FRONT will rename all mod.s to pt3.
