Problem in moving files to .txt
Hello All
Iam running one script to Split the file and rename it with .txt extension

Script
Prefix=Z_PRICE_NEW_`date "+%Y%m%d%H%M%S"`
split -3000 -a 4 Z_PRICE_NEW.txt $Prefix
find . -name "$Prefix*" -print | {
while read FILE;
do
mv $FILE $FILE.tmp
done
}

Since the Source file was huge areound 350 MB the split countrer was two characters Z_PRICE_NEW20070319231757aa.txt,with this i can split only 676 files at the max ,so i tried ti increase the counter by 4 instead of two whic was default"-a 4",
This script is working filne but some of the file are splitted and coming like this
Z_PRICE_NEW20070319231757aaae.txt.txt

Iam not able to figure out why there are two .txt extensions coming ,
If any one can help me it will be very useful

Regards
Tausif
