Filename Doesn't Appear As Expected After File Operation (102505)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q102505 SUMMARY
When you locate or group files in File Manager and CMD.EXE, files are
identified by the filename extension that comes after the LAST period
in the filename. However, when you perform a file operation, such as
copying a file, File Manager and CMD.EXE use the filename extension
that comes after the FIRST period.
This situation may produce undesired results when you rename a file
using wildcards (such as *). For example, when you rename a file
called MY.TEST.DOC.TXT by typing, *.BAK, the new filename for
MY.TEST.DOC.TXT will be MY.BAK.
