How to rename files using ant recursively in all sub directories

How to rename files using ant recursively in all sub directories

How to rename files using ant recursively in all sub directories

(OP)
Hi All,  I have a requirement to change filenames and keep the extensions same, in all the subdirectories recursively for ex: I have directory structure below

dir1
  test1.bak
  subdir1
     test1.txt
  subdir2
     test1.yyy

after I run the ant script I expect following:

dir1
  test2.bak
  subdir1
     test2.txt
  subdir2
     test2.yyy

as you can see it changed all the file name from test1 to test2 and keep the extension the same.

I have tried different ways but I cannot acheive renaming the files and still keep the original directory structure.

Thanx for any help

RE: How to rename files using ant recursively in all sub directories

I am facing the similar issue. I need to take off the underscores "_" from the names of a set of files. For example: from "my_First_File.java" and "my_Second_File.java", to "myFirstFile.java" and "mySecondFile.java".

Had you figure out how to do yours, please let me how.

Thank you.
