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

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.
