There's no need for the echo command substitution and the first asterisk in your parameter substitution is meaningless since it's a shortest match (% instead of %%). Also, the filenames in question have spaces (perhaps that info was added after you had read the post), so the expansions need to be double quoted to protect them from field splitting.

Thanks. I have a directory full of filenames that need to be manipulated in this way.
If it's possible that striping the file extension from file1 can match an existing file, file2, and if you don't want file2 clobbered, you'll want to test for the existence of file2 before doing the mv.

asntool - process ASN.1 module specifications
SYNOPSIS
asntool [-] [-B filename] [-D N] [-G] [-I str] [-J type] [-K str] [-L str] [-M filename,...] [-P str] [-Q] [-S filename] [-T filename] [-V]
[-X filename] [-Z] [-b N] [-d filename] [-e filename] [-f filename] [-l filename] -m filename [-o filename] [-p filename] [-t str]

DESCRIPTION
asntool reads, validates, and displays ASN.1 module specifications.
OPTIONS

- Print usage message
-B filename
Generate objects and code in files named filename.*
-D N Debugging level for code generation:
0 No debugging (default)
1 Shallow debugging
2 Deep debugging

-Q Use quoted syntax form for generated include files
-S filename
