## RenameExtensions

### Deprecated

This task has been deprecated. Use the move task with a glob mapper instead.

### Description

Renames files in the srcDir directory ending with the fromExtension string so that they end with the toExtension string. Files are only replaced if replace is true.

See the section on directory based tasks, on how the inclusion/exclusion of files works, and how to write patterns. This task forms an implicit FileSet and supports most attributes of `<fileset>` (dir becomes srcDir) as well as the nested `<include>`, `<exclude>` and `<patternset>` elements.

### Parameters

Attribute | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
defaultexcludes | indicates whether default excludes should be used or not (yes|no). | No; defaults to yes
excludes | comma- or space-separated list of patterns of files that must be excluded. | No; defaults to default excludes or none if defaultexcludes is no
excludesfile | name of a file. Each line of this file is taken to be an exclude pattern | No
fromExtension | The string that files must end in to be renamed | Yes
includes | comma- or space-separated list of patterns of files that must be included. | No; defaults to all (**)
includesfile | name of a file. Each line of this file is taken to be an include pattern | No
replace | Whether the file being renamed to should be replaced if it already exists | No
srcDir | The starting directory for files to search in | Yes
toExtension | The string that renamed files will end with on completion | Yes

### Examples

    <renameext srcDir="/source/project1"
