replace *.sqc files with *.sqC extension
Hi everyone,
I want to know how to replace file extensions. For example how do i go about replacing all *.c files in a directory to *.cpp
I think we can do it either with "find" commad or with special registers. I tried to use the following command
mv \(.*\).c \1.cpp
but it is giving an error saying, cant stat source (.*).c
whats wrong with this ?
I am not sure how to do it with find commnad. please let me know if anyone of you know how to do it.

CPP(1) General Commands Manual CPP(1)
NAME
cpp - C language preprocessor
SYNOPSIS
cpp [ option ... ] [ ifile [ ofile ] ]
DESCRIPTION
Cpp interprets ANSI C preprocessor directives and does macro substitution. The input ifile and output ofile default to standard input and
standard output respectively.
The options are:
-Dname
-Dname=def
-Idir Same as in 2c(1).
-M Generate no output except a list of include files in a form suitable for specifying dependencies to mk(1). Use twice to list files
in angle brackets.
-N Turn off default include directories. All must be specified with -I. Without this option, /$objtype/include and /sys/include are
used as the last two searched directories for include directives, where $objtype is read from the environment.
-V Print extra debugging information.
-+ Understand C++ comments.
The output file contains processed text sprinkled with lines that show the original input line numbering:
#line linenumber "ifile"
The input language is as described in the ANSI C standard. The C compilers do not use cpp; they contain their own simple but adequate pre-
processor, so cpp is usually superfluous.
FILES
/sys/include
directory for machine-independent include files
/$objtype/include
directory for machine-dependent include files
SOURCE
/sys/src/cmd/cpp
SEE ALSO
