Using wildcards in the rename dialog
Posted: Tue Nov 04, 2025 5:06 pm
The help shows this:
*.txt was not found
What wildcards are available, and how do you use them in the rename function? There is nothing in the help about wildcards.
I tried using *.txt and the function returned:How to Rename a File
From the File Menu, choose Manage Files (F3). The Manage Files dialog appears.
Toolbar:
Type the name of the file that you want to rename. This may include a path if it is not in the current working folder. The filename may be a wildcard pattern if you want to rename multiple files.
Click Rename. The Rename dialog appears.
Type the new name that you want to give the file. If this is just a pathname, the file is moved to that folder, keeping its original file name.
Click OK.
