Re: [sc-users] can we change the extension of multiple files in SC3?



a= "/Applications/SuperCollider/sounds/*".pathMatch; //first generate list with pathnames

( //then replace all .aiff with .xyz WARNING- MAKE BACKUP OF AIFF SOUNDFILES IN SOUNDS/ FIRST
a.do{|x|
	var pn= PathName(x);
	if(pn.extension=="aiff", {	//filter out .aiff files
		("mv"+pn.fullPath+pn.fullPath.replace("aiff", "xyz")).unixCmd;
	});
};
)


so the unix command to move and rename files is mv. you can call it from within sc like this...
"mv file1.aiff file1.xyz".unixCmd

careful when using it thought and don't blame me if you overwrite important files. should also work with text files like rtf, sc and other. but it'll only change the extension name, not open and resave in new format. for that you can look into apple's Automator and AppleScript.

good luck,
