You did not mention the OS, but because you are using

From
past experience with various MS OSes, I found that as the number of

file.

how so?


I said "sounds like", which means I was guessing. In *nix ( the ones I
know ), it would have been "pathname/editfile.txt". But, it was the
file extension that caught my eye. I had a project a while back that
required a mass conversion of jpeg files and ran into what sounded like
a similar problem.
