NewEXT version 1.4 16.08.94 Lee Kindness
========================================
Introduction
============
NewExt is a shell only utility for changing the extension part of
of a files name. NewExt supports AmigaDOS wildcards making a seemingly
useless utility useful - Ever tried to rename all the .pic files in a
directory to .ILBM? NewExt can. WB 2.0+ required.
Usage
=====
From the CLI/Shell :-
WILDCARD/A,EXTENSION/A,FRONT/S,HELP/S,INFOS/S
WILDCARD:
Which files to operate on. Must be given.
EXTENSION:
The new extension for matched files. Must be given.
FRONT:
Specifies that the EXTENSION will be changed at the left edge rather than
the standard right position. Useful for mod.#? etc.
HELP:
Will print out some information.
INFOS:
Specifies that the .info files of the files that are being renamed will
also have their names changed.
Eg/ NewEXT #?.iff .ILBM INFOS will rename all .iffs to .ILBM. including
their .info files
NewEXT (#?.sample|#?.sfx) .8SVX will rename all .samples and .sfxs to
.8SVX
NewEXT mod.#? pt3. FRONT will rename all mod.s to pt3.
