Possible to ingest files without an extension?

My case is a folder, with roughly 150 files that are without an extension, at the end of the file name, but I know most of them to be valid .ts (transport stream) files.  Because of this, I want to be able to ingest those into my database.  So, is there a way for me to (temporarily) set the preferences, such that a file of any file format be admitted?

IMatch needs the file extension.

Would it not be possible to just give those files an extension with a simple command line:

ren *.* *.ts

Files without an extension are so uncommon...

That's exactly what I just did now!  This let me get them into IMatch.
