Full Discussion: file renaming with if else clause

Maybe this:
Code:
find ./ \! -name "*.jpg" -type f | \
while read fname
do
     mv "${fname}" "${fname}.txt"
done

Or even better:
Code:
find ./ \! -name "*.jpg" -type f | xargs -t -I {} mv "{}" "{}.txt"

If your find supports "-printf" option:
Code:
# List all commands
find ./ \! -name "*.jpg" -type f -printf "mv %h/%f %h/%f.txt\n"
# Execute the commands
find ./ \! -name "*.jpg" -type f -printf "mv %h/%f %h/%f.txt\n" | sh
