Renaming Files With 2 .
Dear All expertise..
just wanna ask if there is a way on how to change the filename as per below sample:-

filename:-
Code:
cob120514093156.03.466926330
CCBS-CPMM_SEND_COB_120514_100549_3.rpt

to convert to:-
Code:
cob120514093156.03.466926330.bd (rename from cob120514093156.03.466926330)

cob120514093156.03.466926330.br (rename from CCBS-CPMM_SEND_COB_120514_100549_3.rpt)

Thank You.

cob120514093156.03.466926330.br (rename from CCBS-CPMM_SEND_COB_120514_100549_3.rpt)
the logic is... .br is stand for report & the .bd was for payment files with diff id... the red bold is the ID.
