REN

Rename a file or files.

   REN [drive:][path]old_filename new_filename

RENAME is a synonym for REN

You cannot specify a different drive or path for `new_filename` - use the MOVE command instead.

Both the source and/or destination may include wildcards.

e.g.
   REN *.txt *.xyz
   REN c:\MyFile.txt *.xyz
   REN c:\MyFile.txt ????.xyz
