-
- - Do you get irritated because DOS won't let you rename a file
- to a different directory?
-
- - Do you end up copying the files to the path where you want
- them, and then forget to erase the originals, wasting valuable
- disk space, and promoting directory clutter?
-
- - Do you ever want to specify more than one source file
- specification in the RENAME command.
-
- - Do you ever wish that you could just rename a directory*,
- instead of having to create a new directory, copying all of the
- files, deleting the old files, and then removing the old
- directory?
-
- If you answered a resounding "YES" to any of the above, then
- eXceptional REName is just the utility you need! As well as
- operating identically to the DOS RENAME command, if picks up
- where DOS left off to do all of the functions stated above. It
- will run on any IBM PC/XT/AT/PS2 or 100% compatable running DOS
- version 2.0* or higher.
-
- * (The directory rename feature requires DOS version 3.0 or higher.)
-
-
- End the tedious drudgery of COPY and RENAME!

-
- HOW TO USE eXceptional REName
- Since you will want to use eXceptional REName often, copy it to
- your root directory or your DOS directory or other directory that
- is included within the search string of your PATH command.
-
- COPY XREN.EXE \DOS\XREN.EXE
-
- SYNTAX
- If you ever forget the syntax, and cannot locate these
- instructions, simply type XREN and press return for a summary.
-
- Note that in all cases, the wildcard characters ? and * are
- supported, in both the original file specifications and the new
- file specification. Important note - if the original file
- specifications equate to more than one file, then at least one
- wildcard character MUST BE USED in the new file specification.
-
- Simple rename:
- XREN [origpath\]origname[.ext] [origpath\]newname[.ext]
- EXAMPLE: Rename the file SOURCE1.ASM to SOURCE1.ARC within the
- \ASM directory.
- XREN \ASM\SOURCE1.ASM \ASM\SOURCE1.ARC
-
- Rename across directories:
- XREN [origpath\]origname[.ext] [newpath\]newname[.ext]
- EXAMPLE: Move all files beginning with SOURCE from the \ASM
- directory to the \ARC\ASM directory, and change their extension
- from .ASM to .ARM
- XREN \ASM\SOURCE*.ASM \ARC\ASM\*.?R?
-
- Multi-source rename across directories:
- XREN [path1\]name1[.ext] [path2\]name2[.ext] [...] [newpath]newname[.ext]
- EXAMPLE: Move files all files with the extension of .C from the
- directory \CFILES, all files with the extension of .A from the
- directory \ASM and all files with the extension of .M from the
- directory \MOD2; place them in the directory \ARC and change all
- of their extensions to .ARC
- XREN \CFILES\*.C \ASM\*.A \MOD2\*.M \ARC\*.ARC
-
