rename files using shell scripting
Hi all,
i want to rename some files in my directory
using korn shell scripting.
1) i want to rename files who have no extension so that they
will have the format: filename.extension
and
2) i want the files who has extension initially, to stay the same
(they will not be changed)
do you have any idea about how to do this using ksh scripting?
(without using sed or awk)
with regards
