Hi, I Just want to remove unwanted dot extension before the file extension, as shown below

9781437706734.xml1.xml.xml to remove the dot extension before .xml and rename file as 9781437706734.xml

To remove this type of occurrence in multiple sub folders in a directory

Example 9781437706734\BODY\B978143770673410006X\B978143770673410006X.xml1.xml.xml

Example 9781437706734\BODY\B9781437706734100010\B9781437706734100010.xml1.xml.xml

Example 9781437706734\REAR\B9781437706734102000\B9781437706734102000.xml1.xml.xml

Example 9781437706734\REAR\B9781437706734102050\B9781437706734102050.xml1.xml.xml

Example 9781437706734\REAR\B9781437706734102051\B9781437706734102051.xml1.xml.xml

Thanksin advance
