Post Rename all files Reply with quote
I need to get a list of all files in a directory and change the file extensions. What is the best way to do this in 24x7 script?

Thank you

Do you need to apply any conditional IF...THEN logic or simply replace all files with a known extension to some other extension, for example *.txt to *.bak?

I need to change all of the .csv files to .old. for all of those file types in 1 directory, no subdirs.

Thanks

The simplest method is to run a DOS command
cmd /C rename *.csv *.old

So I can just run a dos command somewhere in the JAL script? how would I do that?

I dont think I gave the full scope of what I am trying to do. during a script run, I need to rename the files.

You can use RunAndWait JAL statement for that purpose
You can paste the syntax template using Paste JAL menu command in the editor.

The CMD line method worked when I tested it with a local drive but I need to use a UNC path. It always fails. Any other suggestions?

Have you "escaped" backslashes correctly?
\\\\computer\\drive\\whatever\\file.txt

RunAndWait ( "cmd /C rename \\\\fileserver\\share\\f1\\f2\\f3\\*.csv \\\\fileserver\\share\\f1\\f2\\f3\\*.txt", "\\\\fileserver\\share\\f1\\f2\\f3" 60, renameid )

This is the command I am trying.

What do you see in the job output files when you run that job. Are there any specific errors? Access denied?

I meant job output capture files, not log

I'm sure cmd.exe can start fine. But you need to see what it prints to the output

Hmm, your question makes me wonder if you are running 24x7 Multi-Platform edition or an old legacy version. In MP, that's a standard feature.

It is an older version 3.4.26.

I am not able to upgrade to any current versions at this time.
