I hava a directory that contains around 200 files with the following naming scheme: CCTP.asm, CCAS.asm, etc. I want to change all of those file names to CCTP40.asm, CCAS40.asm, etc. Basically, I want to add 40 to the end of each file name.
That won't work. You have to keep the original 4 characters of the name and the .asm extension. In other words, the file CCAW.asm needs to be changed to CCAW40.asm. This needs to be done in a for loop for over 200 files.
Therefore, I must seperate the CCAW part from the extension part of the filename and append 40 to CCAW and then append .asm to that.
