Batch - rename file extension / add extension

[torque]

hello,

sorry if this is the wrong subforum, I'm new to filemaker.

the point is,

I got a quite big file, and every line links to a soundfile.

now half of the files were converted from an old format to .wav

filemaker can´t find half of the files anymore.

I couldn't find out how to batch-rename,

plus the old format had no extension!

so I need a batch like:

if the path of the file has no ".wav" at the end, add ".wav",

if there is ".wav", don't do anything"

or some kind of "ignore file extension" function.

is this somehow possible?

thanks alot in advance,

torque

ok after hours of trying,

I managed to do it like this:

I acidentaly added ".wav" to every file.

so I had files with ".wav" and some with ".wav.wav".

next, I replaced ".wav.wav" with ".wav".

thats how every file got a .wav at the end.

some files still aren't working though.
