rename -- change name of file, directory, or volume
|
|
|
|
syntax: rename <pathname> <pathname>
|
|
|
|
ex: rename this that
|
|
rename /blank /mydisk
|
|
rename letter= ltr.=
|
|
|
|
Changes the name of a file, directory, or volume. Wildcards
|
|
are allowed, as in the third example. A wildcard in the
|
|
second pathname expands to the same text the wildcard in the
|
|
first pathname is matching. The third example changes the
|
|
names of files beginning with "letter" to begin with "ltr."
|
|
instead.

|
If you change the name of an AppleWorks file (filetypes AWP,
|
|
ADB, and ASP) from Davex, you may find the capitalization to
|
|
be strange. This is because AppleWorks stores the
|
|
capitalization information in the file's Auxiliary type,
|
|
which is not affected by this command. Use Apple-N while
|
|
editing the file in Appleworks to fix the capitalization.
