I have a folder with a large amount of .mdl and .att files. There are also some with extensions after that .att or .mdl. An example of each:

#!/bin/ksh for file in * do if [[ $file == *".mdl" ]] || [[ $file == *".att" ]] then case $file in *".att" ) mv $file "${file%%.*}.EG.att" ;; *"T.mdl" ) mv $file "${file%%.*}.EGT.mdl" ;; *"S.mdl" ) mv $file "${file%%.*}.EGT.mdl" ;; esac fi done
This will handle the files that end in .att or .mdl. Not sure if you want the .orig files renamed. If so, just ask and I'll post how to do that.

Ok, so I guess I am a beginner still at scripts because I can't get the script to work. Do I need to make the script a certain type of executable? Should it be a .sh or .exe file?
Do I need to specify the path of the folder to be edited in the script somewhere?
