problem with renaming files
Hi,
I need to rename all the .txt files present in current directory to .dat files respectively in UNIX.
for example:
$ ls
aaa.txt bbb.txt ccc.txt
I need to change them to
$ ls
aaa.dat bbb.dat ccc.dat
Is there any UNIX command to do this in one go?

fputcsv - Format line as CSV and write to file pointer
SYNOPSIS
int fputcsv (resource $handle, array $fields, [string $delimiter = ","], [string $enclosure = '"'], [string $escape_char = "
DESCRIPTION
fputcsv(3) formats a line (passed as a $fields array) as CSV and write it (terminated by a newline) to the specified file $handle.
PARAMETERS
o $handle
-The file pointer must be valid, and must point to a file successfully opened by fopen(3) or fsockopen(3) (and not yet closed by
fclose(3)).
o $fields
- An array of values.
o $delimiter
- The optional $delimiter parameter sets the field delimiter (one character only).
o $enclosure
- The optional $enclosure parameter sets the field enclosure (one character only).
o $escape_char
- The optional $escape_char parameter sets the escape character (one character only).
RETURN VALUES
Returns the length of the written string or FALSE on failure.
CHANGELOG

|Version | |

| | Description |
| | |
+--------+---------------------------------------+
| 5.5.4 | |

| | The $escape_char parameter was added |

+--------+---------------------------------------+
EXAMPLES
Example #1
fputcsv(3) example
<?php
$list = array (
array('aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc', 'dddd'),
array('123', '456', '789'),
array('"aaa"', '"bbb"')
);
$fp = fopen('file.csv', 'w');
foreach ($list as $fields) {
fputcsv($fp, $fields);
}
fclose($fp);
?>
The above example will write the following to file.csv:
aaa,bbb,ccc,dddd
123,456,789
"""aaa""","""bbb"""
NOTES
Note
If PHP is not properly recognizing the line endings when reading files either on or created by a Macintosh computer, enabling the
auto_detect_line_endings run-time configuration option may help resolve the problem.
