how to add *cs before.xml

aff m

Hello everyone,

I’m hoping someone can help. How can I change a file ending with .xml file to a file ending *cs.xml ??

thanks your help is appreciated. :)

It depends on what you mean:

Do you mean you want to rename the actual file you are editing? Then use File > Rename and change the name. If you have multiple files, this will be tedious: Notepad++ was not designed as a bulk rename tool.

Do you mean you are editing a text file which has many filenames in the text, some of which end in .xml ? Then use a search and replace (Search > Replace) with Find What = .xml, Replace With = cs.xml, and Search Mode = normal

If you mean something different, you will have to provide more details.

thanks for your quick reply. This is one file and I’m trying to upload it to software that only reads files format type ending in *.ci.xml

When I attempted to rename the file I can only change the type to ci.xml, cannot seem to add the *. in front.

That’s because you can’t have a * in the name of a file; see HERE.

What did you try? It works just fine for me:
