simple question about mv

[Eiger Richard]

A simple way to solve the often found problem of renaming some files
suffixes can be solved as follows (at least under UNIX V):

for name in *.flip
do
mv $name `basename $name .flip`.flop
done

which will rename all files *.flip in such with the extension .flop.
The command basename can be used for other tasks as well. Please check the
user's manual (1).

Best luck         Richard Eiger
