RENAME FILE
This option allows you to change the name of one
or
more files
.
There are two
parameters,
OLD
NAM
E an
d
NEW,
for
this
option.
The parameter OLD NAME is always a complete
filespec.
If you
do not specify a device
number,
the computer assumes Dl
:
(the
default). The NEW parameter refers simply to the new filename
.
The device
n
umber is automatically the device specified
in
the
OLD
NAM
E
parameter.
If there are any illegal characters
in
the
NEW
parameter,
the name of the renamed file will consist
of
the
c
haracters
up
to,
but not
including,
the illegal character.
You can use wild cards in both the first and second parameters
(see Example 2).
However,
if you
use one or more wild cards in
the OLD NAM
E,
they must at
least
be matched by number and
position in the NEW
filename.
The following examples
of
legal
and
illegal
filenames
