- NAME
- Rename - To rename or move files and directories.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- Rename FILE TO FILE or directory.
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Rename changes the names of your files. If the file already
- exists, or if you attempt to Rename a file from one disk
- device to another, Rename will fail. You may use wildcards
- to move many files from one filename to another, or you may
- use wildcards to move many files from one directory to
- another. Note that using Rename to move files is quicker and
- cleaner than using Copy and then delete.
-
- EXAMPLE
- Given a disk with the files CA CB and CC on it, you want to
- rename them all to be BA BB and BC. The following rename
- command will perform this task.
-
- Rename c* B*
-
- On the other hand, if you want to move all the files from
- the current directory to the directory Save_Me you would use
- this form of the command:
-
- Rename * to Save_Me
-
- In cases like these two, Rename will display the names of
- the files it is working on, unless you specify the QUIET
- switch to Rename.
-
- NOTE
- When renaming with wildcards, please only use #? or * and
- not the other wildcard characters, until V1.1 of ARP, or
- the results may not be what you expected.
