The above two solution would add .txt to the file names.
But, as Jallan mentioned - he/she would be running a cron job everyday to add .txt to the new files add to that directory.
The above codes will also add .txt to the files that already have .txt extension.
So I guess first is to get file names that do no have .txt extension and then update them.
