[Linuxcommand-discuss] Greetings & a Script

[Bruce B. <bbu...@ea...>]

    Hello everyone.....Like I assume most of you are,  I
am new to Linux and learning Bash.....

Here's a  script I wrote  that  I woouldn't mind some 
feedback on.......It's for changing the  extensions on
files in the pwd and skips over files without the extension
entered as  the first argument.....



#!/bin/bash
# 2.05
old=$1
new=$2
for i in $( ls ); do
         if [[ $i != *$old ]]; then
              shift  
         else
             k=$( basename $i ${old} )
  
            mv $i ${k}${new}
         fi
done



Thanks to HoBoJack for  telling me about  LC.


I have yet to receive any  mail from the list,  so maybe
someone could look into that?
