Bash script deleting my files, and editing files in subdirectories question
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#
name=$1
type=$2

number=1

for file in ./**
do
	if [ $number -lt 10 ]
	then
		filenumber=00$number
	elif [ $number -lt 100 ]
	then
		filenumber=0$number
	fi

	tempname="$name""$filenumber"."$type"

	if [ -f $file ]
	then
		if [ ! -x $file ]
		then
			mv $file $tempname
		fi
	fi

	((number++))
done

So the purpose of this code is to rename files in a directory to a new name, number, and filetype. However anything that has already been renamed in my folder gets deleted. Like if I have:

file001.jpg, file002.jpg, file003.jpg, file004.jpg
newfile1, newfile2, newfile3, newfile4

when I run: ./renumber file jpg
I end up with:

file005.jpg, file006.jpg, file007.jpg, file008.jpg

and my original 4 are gone. What happened?

ALSO!
How can I get the program to also do the same to files in sub directories?
