done

Hi,
If there is a single file *.r this will work
#mv *.r oo.i

Hi,

A better way:

Hi,

#!/sbin/sh

old=I
new=M

for file in *.$old
do
mv $file `echo $file | sed -e 's/.$old$/.$new/g'
done

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,

I missed out a grave accent (`) after the sed:

#!/sbin/sh

old=I
new=M

for file in *.$old
do
mv $file `echo $file | sed -e 's/.$old$/.$new/g'`
done

With pattern matching (e.g. using sed), you do not need to worry about the number of dots (.) you have as part of your filename.

Hope this helps. Regards.

hi
Try the basename command for this

for file in *.I
do
mv $file `basename $file .I`.M
done

Hi Ravi,

try the pattern-matching operators.

old=I
new=M

for file in `ls *.$old`
do
newfile=${file%.$old}.$new
mv $file $newfile
done

ksh has a construct that you can use instead of basename.

To replace the ending ".I" with ".M", use:

mv $ORIGINAL_FILE ${ORIGINAL_FILE%.I}.M

You do need to use the curly brackets.
