:i recently wrote a script that gets a folder, seperates the basename and
: suffix of a file, joins them together, and then adds ".txt".
:
: the script works, so long as the output is to a msgbox or wscript.echo.
: however, it doesnt change the original file, which is what i want it to
do.
:
: what am i doing wrong, or, not doing?

You're not moving the file, which means renaming it.
