Title: changing films from caps to lowercase
Post by: Sancho on May 30, 2001, 10:04:00 AM

Somehow, 100 some odd .ahf films of mine became capitalized.  AH will only play the lower case files!  Is there an easy way in DOS perhaps to change the names from caps to lowercase?

Weird.

You should be able to rename them to "file.ahf" in lower case using windows just fine.

Not that it should matter.

U could try making a bat file to change the extension of all the files, and then change it back again...

just make a bat file containing:

rename *.ahf *.bmp
rename *.bmp *.ahf

and put it in your film directory.
Make a backup of the film files in case it makes them unuseable.

I dunno if this would work or not... it might +)

Skurj you da man!  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/cool.gif)  It worked.  I didn't really want to manually change over a hundred filenames.  DOS is pretty lame, but that was impressive how it handled the wildcard on a per file basis through the rename.
