Message-ID: <5569@minyos.xx.rmit.oz> Date: 7 Sep 90 00:37:14 GMT Sender: news@minyos.xx.rmit.oz Lines: 17 Hi all experts out here! Sorry for the stupid query, but I just don't know how to do it. Once in a while I want to change the names of a bunch of files from *.xyz to *.abc for example. I know there is a better way to do this than doing it one by one but I just can't find any way to do it. I know it can be done using shell script but I don't know (yet) how to write them. So, Is there anyone out there can help me on this problem? Thanks in advance. =============================================================================== Alvaro Hui |ACSnet akkh@mullian.oz 4th Year B.E.\ B.Sc. |Internet & akkh@mullian.ee.mu.OZ.AU University of Melbourne |Arpanet rcoahk@koel.co.rmit.OZ.AU
