Escape an asterisk in DOS
<p>I would like to rename a file in DOS. As a result, a dot and an asterisk should be appended to the file name. For example: </p>

<pre><code>rename text.log text.log.*
</code></pre>

<p>However this returns:</p>

<pre><code>text.log..
</code></pre>

<p>I have also tried to escape the * as follows: </p>

<pre><code>rename text.log text.log.\*
</code></pre>

<p>But no way! Do you guys know how I can rename this file appending an .* to the string text.log by using a cmd shell? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
