you will realize that making a search on these forums would give you more ideas... for exampe I searched for "rename files" and I got this link...

Easy way to mass rename files?

I have just modified a small piece of code from the above link...

Quote:
for name in `ls *.rtf`
do
name1=`echo $name | sed -e 's/^\(.*\)\.rtf$/\1\.doc/g'`
mv $name $name1
done
Cheers!
Vishnu.
