Rename a file extension

JPolimeni

What is the best way to just rename the file extension?

This is how I've done it in the past with AWE

Add a "<" to the font of each line and it will work in your AWE.
-- changing an extention -->
AMVARIABLE NAME="filenameOrig" VALUE="" />
AMVARIABLE NAME="filenameNoExt" VALUE="" />
AMVARIABLE NAME="newExtention" VALUE=".csv" />
AMTEXT ACTIVITY="path" PATH="\<yoursourcepath>\filename.txt" RESULTVARIABLE="filenameOrig" />
AMFILESYSTEM ACTIVITY="get" SOURCE="\<yoursourcepath>\changeextention.txt" RESULTDATASET="dataset" FILEPROPERTY="fullname" />
AMTEXT ACTIVITY="trim" TEXT="%filenameOrig%" RESULTVARIABLE="filenameNoExt" REMOVE="user" CHARACTERS=".txt" />
AMFILESYSTEM ACTIVITY="rename" SOURCE="\<yoursourcepath>\changeextention.txt" DEST="\<yourdestpath>\%filenameNoExt + newExtention%" />

you can also do a file rename thru the eft ruleset.
setup a rule to copy or move from location a to b then use this function
