Answers.Text: ok. I tried opening the .ent file with Autodock but I kept getting the error, .ent file is an unrecognized format. How can I simultaneously change the extension for 50,000 ent files to pdb without having to do it manually for each one individually.

  An ent file is a pdb file. Just change the extension. [PDBe](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/node/1) for example provides their PDB files as such.
