|    Bulk copy with changed extension    |

      From: me@somewhere.invalid              I have several hundred text files with the extension '.ino'. On my Win       10 PC I can view them in any text editor. They are also accessible on my       iPad because they are in subfolders of my Dropbox folder. However they       cannot be viewed directly on the iPad. One of many frustrations I have       with either iOS or Dropbox - haven't quite pinned the culprit down in       this case.              Could some kind expert please suggest a batch file that would take a       parent folder (File Explorer) path as its input, and make identically       named copies of every .ino file in every subfolder of it, but with a       .txt extension, saving them in the same location.              So files like       C:\Users\terry\Dropbox\Electronics\Arduino\SKETCHES\My Sketches\MY       SKETCHES 2021-2022\DFR SD ORIG type\JUKEBOX\J26Sh9plus\J26Sh9plus.ino              would be accompanied by       C:\Users\terry\Dropbox\Electronics\Arduino\SKETCHES\My Sketches\MY       SKETCHES 2021-2022\DFR SD ORIG type\JUKEBOX\J26Sh9plus\J26Sh9plus.txt              If this was a one-off task I would tackle it within File Explorer. I did       so a year ago and it was tedious. But I will want to update it at       intervals, hence the need for some neat automation please.              Any help would be much appreciated.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
