File Extension Changing Tool 1

[carpediem79]

Does anyone know of a good tool that will allow me to change all of the extensions on a website? It has hundreds, if not thousands, of pages. Say I need to change them all from .htm to .shtml or .cf

Thanks!!

If you run windows you can use the command line REN command to rename files. Go to a command window and try this. First line changes to the appropriate folder (cd=change directory). Second line renames (*.htm=all files with htm extension)

cd\ "my documents\inetpub\[URL unfurl="true"]wwwroot\website"[/URL]
ren *.htm *.html

You do realise that changing all your page extensions will kill any search engine ranking and traffic that you have.

...and you also realise that changing the extensions of the files won't change all the links from page to page within the content of those files.

Let's take a step back - why do you want to change your file extensions?
