Alternatively, you can type a different extension, and you can set up conditions for how files are renamed by using
question marks and asterisks:
• A question mark (?) signifies that a character doesn't change.
• An asterisk (*) denotes the original file name or extension.
Here are some examples of how files can be renamed:

About scripts
In Edit View, scripts let you save a series of actions, such as copying data or applying an effect, so you can perform
those actions again with the click of a button. Scripts are simple text files that are similar to macros; Adobe Audition
stores the exact actions of your mouse and any tweaking of parameters, so you can repeat them in the same sequence
when you run the script.
For example, suppose you have a combination of effects with particular settings (an EQ setting, a Hall reverb, and so
on) that you want to apply often and in combination to achieve a certain sound. You can record these steps, along
with effect-specific settings, and then apply them at any time simply by running a script.
Adobe Audition lets you create three types of scripts:
• Scripts that start from scratch on a newly created waveform; their first command is File > New.
• Scripts that work on the currently open waveform, from the start-time indicator to the end of the file.
• Scripts that work on a selected range in an open waveform.
