I'd like a batch file extension stripper/renamer, please - i've been looking for one for quite some time, but haven't had any luck.

Thanks!

Extension Changer does that, I think. You can select any number of files in windows explorer, right click and choose edit the extension to change them all at once.

Unless you're specifically looking for something that first takes the extension off a file and then gives it a random/sequential name?

I tried Extension Changer, but unfortunately it couldn't help me - thank you anyway

Could you clarify that?

if all you want to do is change, for example, a bunch of .abc files to .def, I believe

"ren *.abc *.def" from the command line would work

Well my problem is that I have a large number of files which for some reason have the file extension twice (.wav.wav).

As they are for use with another application which is specifically searching for files in the 'type-sequentialnumber.wav' format, having the extra .wav is causing a lot of problems.

The first '.wav' isn't treated as a file extension until the second '.wav' is deleted (I attempted to manually go through the files, but there are far too many).

Right I can get around this with a program called Advanced Renamer. Simply do a rename on the files Change .wav.wav to .wav

Edit:

Ah! Thank you!
