No it is not homework.

My purpose of doing this is not to simply run the script for the example i have given, but for any directory that is instructed.

So far i have managed to make the files copy across into the new directory, i done this by:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
if cp -r "$1" "$2"
then echo "copy success!"
else echo "copy failed!"
fi

Now i'd like to for the script to rename all the files within each directory of this directory, according to the directory name, for example if a directory is called help, the .jpg files inside would be renamed help.jpg, help2.jpg, help3.jpg. This is where it seems to get complex, a little steer in the right direction with some examples would be appreciated!

thanks guys
