changing file name not the file extention
Hello experts,
I need to solve the problem stated below:
1.have to search for " operator.java" file and rename it to as OPERATOR.java
2.Also I have to change the following line inside the file:
public class operator----->public class OPERATOR

the only thing that i can think is ,I have to use sed and find but need some hints.

Please give me some ideas.
Thanks.

     newfile=$( echo "$file" | sed 's/operator/OPERATOR/' )
     mv tmpfile $newfile
