- Dos' "RENAME" function is extrememly limited (ain't that obvious !!).
- If you are renaming a file, you must specify the entire name, and the
- entire name of the replacement file. If you just want to change one
- character within a filename, you get no breaks. You must type, type, type,
- type.....
-
- Also, if you want to rename a group of files, you must manually enter
- in every filename plus the replacement filenames.
-
-
-
- Enough of that junk !
-
-
-
- The DUDE allows you to:
-
- 1) Rename part of a file
-
- 2) Rename a large group of files
-
- 3) Rename a single character within multiple files
-
- 4) Rename an extension, or the filename without the extension
-
-
-
-
-
- Usage: DUDE [oldstring] [newstring]
-
-
-
-
-
- ========== When dealing with "LIST.COM" =============================
-
- Examples: DUDE list.com a.com -renames LIST.COM to A.COM
-
- DUDE t.c a.a -renames LIST.COM to LISA.AOM
-
- DUDE om jj -renames LIST.COM to LIST.CJJ
-
- DUDE l p -renames LIST.COM to PIST.COM
-
- DUDE .com .exe -renames LIST.COM to LIST.EXE
-
-
-
- ========== When dealing with "VIRUSCAN.EXE" =========================
-
- Examples: DUDE e a -renames VIRUSCAN.EXE to VIRUSCAN.AXA
-
- DUDE viru momma -renames VIRUSCAN.EXE to MOMMASCAN.EXE
-
- DUDE viruscan.exe jj. -renames VIRUSCAN.EXE to JJ.
-
- DUDE scan dude -renames VIRUSCAN.EXE to VIRUDUDE.EXE
-
-
-
-
-
- NOTE: This program affects the entire directory !
-
- If you use: DUDE A J, then every instance of the letter 'A'
- will be replaced by the letter 'J'.
-
- When changing only one filename, please be very specific about
- the file (use more of the original lettering).
-
-
-
-
- =========================================================================
-
-
-
- The only REAL way to learn how to use the "DUDE" is to
- create a separate directory, copy a couple of files to
- it, and experiment !
-
-
- If you have problems:
-
- 1) If you're changing an extension, try adding a "." onto the
- name, or taking off the "." from the name.
-
- Examples: Filename is MYFILE.DOC
-
- DUDE file.doc stuff.doc -creates MYSTUFF.DOC
-
- whereas DUDE file stuff -creates STUFF.
-
- 2) If you're having problems, make sure the file doesn't
- already exist. Obviously, you cannot make two files
- with the same filename.
-
- 3) If you screw up and accidentally rename a large directory
- of files, remember, I warned you to experiment first !!

-
-
- Please don't take this program too seriously, especially considering
- the filename.
-
- I hereby release this program to the public domaine. Feel free to
- use it, alter it, or do anything else you want. But most importantly,
- don't allow this program to be used by the Extreme Liberal
- Environmentalists who would have all our corporations shut down in
- order to save the ozone layer.
-
- Here, you worry about the ozone layer while I get to more important
- issues !
