The RENAME Command CP/M 3 User's Guide
If you use wildcards in the filespecs, the wildcards in the new filespec
must correspond exactly to the wildcards in the old filespec. For example,
in the following two commands, the wildcard filespecs correspond
exactly:
A > REN *.TXI=*.TEX
A >REN A*.T*=S*.T*
In the following example, the wildcards do not match and CP/M 3
returns an error message.
A >REN A*.TEX=A.T*
Examples: A >RENAME NEWASM.BAS=OLDFILE.BAS
The file OLDFILE.BAS changes to NEWASM.BAS on drive A.
A>RENAME
The system prompts for the filespecs:
Enter New Name:X.PRN
Enter Old Name:Y.PRN
Y PRN=X PRN
A>
File Y.PRN is renamed X.PRN on drive A.
B>REN A:X.PAS=Y. PLI
The file Y.PLI changes to X.PAS on drive A.
A >RENAME S*.TEX=A*.TEX
The preceding command renames all the files matching the wildcard
A*.TEX to files with filenames matching the wildcard S*.TEX,
respectively.
