///1RENAME Syntax: RENAME {new-filespec=old-filespec} Explanation: RENAME lets you change the name of a file in the directory of a disk. To change several filenames in one command use the * or ? wildcards in the file specifications. The RENAME command can be abbreviated REN. REN prompts you for input. ///2Examples A>RENAME NEWFILE.BAS=OLDFILE.BAS The file OLDFILE.BAS changes to NEWFILE.BAS on drive A. A>RENAME The system prompts for the filespecs: Enter New Name:X.PRN Enter Old Name:Y.PRN Y .PRN=X .PRN A> File X.PRN is renamed to Y.PRN on drive A. B>REN A:PRINTS.NEW = PRINCE.NEW The file PRINCE.NEW on drive A changes to PRINTS.NEW on drive A. A>RENAME S*.TEX=A*.TEX The above command renames all the files matching A*.TEX to files with filenames S*.TEX. A>REN B:NEWLIST=B:OLDLIST The file OLDLIST changes to NEWLIST on drive B. Since the second drive specifier, B: is implied by the first one, it is unnecessary in this example. The command line above has the same effect as the following: A>REN B:NEWLIST=OLDLIST or A>REN NEWLIST=B:OLDLIST
