nc file extension

[camguy]

Hey guys, anyone know where to change the file extention "nc" to lower case ?. We just installed a new puter with win2k, and the files have nc in upper case. we didn't have this problem on the old puter which was running NT.

I had to compile a little Windows proggy for that. It lowercases the whole file name though.....

 

If you want the exe file I can put it on FTP.

 

It is an Windows thing I think.

Thanks Murlin, I'll try anything right now

Have you tried this?

 

code:

---

# Additional General Output Settings

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------

...

progname : 1 #Use uppercase for program name

...

---

Ok I will put it on the FTP in the Unspecified folder.

 

Rename.exe is the filename. Just drop it in your NC dir or whatever folder you are sending your NC files.

 

When the window comes up, drag your mouse and highlight the files you wish to change and click ok.

 

Enjoy

 

 

EDIT

 

 

OH ya Rekd, I forgot you could change the extension in MC.......it was the whole filename I was having problems with.

Thanks Murlin that works. Rekd, the post is set up like that. program name inside the file is ok, but we need the file as seen in Windows explorer to be lower case. Thanks anyway.

I had a similar problem. Machines on our UNIX file server would not recognize files in upper case. I Googled "change to lower case" and found a free shareware program that works well and allows many other renaming options http://www.altarsoft.com/all_file_renamer....action=download (note: set your shortcut Start in: directory to your posted code directory so you don't have to click though the whole directory structure to rename.)

 

or you can create a batch file in notepad or any other text editor that has the line: rename *.NC *.nc Copy the batch file to the nc code directory and run it to change the extension case.

I have a post that has to output with a .ANC extension. The statement I added was:

 

code:

---

 sextnc$ ANC 

---

That should work for you if you substitue nc for ANC.

 

If you don't have X leave off the dollar sign.

 

This also works for subprograms. The command then would be sextsub.
