<h2 id="renameexts">RenameExtensions</h2>
<h3><em><u>Deprecated</u></em></h3>
<p><em>This task has been <u>deprecated</u>.  Use the <a href="../Tasks/move.html">move</a> task
with a <a href="../Types/mapper.html#glob-mapper">glob mapper</a> instead.</em></p>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>Renames files in the <var>srcDir</var> directory ending with the <var>fromExtension</var> string
so that they end with the <var>toExtension</var> string. Files are only replaced
if <var>replace</var> is <q>true</q>.</p>
<p>See the section on <a href="../dirtasks.html#directorybasedtasks">directory based tasks</a>, on
how the inclusion/exclusion of files works, and how to write patterns.  This task forms an
implicit <a href="../Types/fileset.html">FileSet</a> and supports most attributes
of <code>&lt;fileset&gt;</code> (<var>dir</var> becomes <var>srcDir</var>) as well as the
nested <code>&lt;include&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;exclude&gt;</code>
and <code>&lt;patternset&gt;</code> elements.</p>
