Is it possible in vbs to make windows explorer or stritcly by vbs to reanme
the last file written to a specfic name

I got this app that writes a funky extension .inf.1 inf.2 inf.3 etc...
adding them up each time you enter in this curse of a text editor
it's giving me the info i need from the main app... but i don't know what
filename.inf.? number will be there

if I could rename it to a standard ext then I could access it a lot better
with automation

so file <last one > rename to anything.txt ???

.
