Hi Can any body help me reg. this problem? The problem is

the format of the shell script should be
>renam old new
rename: it renames all files in current directory from old extension to new extension
old: it is the old extension of file name (including the '.' )
new: its the new extension

eg: renam .htm .html

it converts all files from .htm to .html extension

eg: renam .txt -txt

it converts all files from .txt to -txt
like .. if a file name was zz.txt it should become zz-txt


Please help me regarding this problem

Thank you
bye

This looks suspiciously like homework to me, however if you search you will find some useful information.

xargs comes to ur rescue .... try something like this ....

ls *.htm | xargs -i basename {} ksh | xargs -i -p -t mv {}htm {}html
