Answer / ramit

Hi Nagesh,

Thanks for the reply but I dont think this will work
as $file= myFile.txt
and mv $file $file.my will rename to myFile.txt.my

I found the solution by extracting basedirectory and
filename then renaming it to req. extension.

thanks

The script given below may work properly.
find command is used to search in all the subdirectories.
basename will extract only filename with .txt extension from
absolute path of file.
cut command will print opnly filename without extension.
mv command is uset to rename.

#!/bin/bash
for i in $(find -name \*.txt)
do
mv $i $(echo `basename $i` | cut -d . -f 1).my
done

try this out

all the files with .txt extension will be converted into .my

Answer / nagesh

Answer / jks

It can be done using the xargs command of Unix ...
cd to the dir containing the *.txt files

$ls *.txt | xargs -i mv \{\} \{\}.my
