The grep works for me. Could it be because you are not using -print with find (which gives full path starting at the current directory ".")?

Grepping out specific extensions is probably easiest anyway, because of the fact that if you have a file called "myfile_version2.1", it will treat that as having an extension (.1).

To rename files, do something like this with "tr"

file="my:file"
newfile=`echo $file | tr ':' '_'`
mv $file $newfile

EDIT: Looking at your code, the reason it doesn't work it because your find starts at "/", not "." This is easy to remedy and something like
grep -v "^[^.]*[.].*$"
should do it.

Cheers

zgrep

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep	options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
