Rename all files in a directory with .jpg extension 1

[mtg0711]

I am writing a program to make it easy to gather pictures of sites such as Facebook by using my browser cache. This program will take all cache files (no extension) and add .jpg to all the files in the directory the user browses for.

I already have the part where the user chooses the directory figured out, but I am having problems with the code I would use for the next step. It will need to read all the files in the chosen directory and just add .jpg to the end (e.g. CACHE_001 -> CACHE_001.jpg)

I am using Microsoft Visual Basic Express Edition (info can be for version 2005 or 2008)

Take a look at the FileSystemObject and the Name As

OK, I am still confused on what the code for this would look like. I'm just getting started with VB still

Visual Basic Express questions would be better addressed in forum796

Why not stick with the good old DOS command?
==> ren [pathtoyourfolder]\*.* *.jpg

And Bob's yer uncle!

Gotta love it. For the trip down memory lane - and a unspoken comment on KISS - have a star.

Thanks Gerry!

The simplest way usually is the most efficient one.
