Sometimes I need to rename a bunch (thousands) of file extensions. Doing this manual is really not feasible, so after some digging I found this solution:
for filename in *.MQ; do mv $filename `basename $filename .MQ`.XML; doneThis snippet finds all files with the extension ‘MQ’ in your current folder and renames them with the extension ‘XML’.
Can be run directly on the command line in most *nix variants. Tested on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 9)
