renaming *.txt to *.csv

Comment:

Hi, I want to rename all .txt files to .csv files using shell script, is it possible? Thanks Siva Hi, I'm trying to replace a column in a comma seperated file with a column in another file using sed/awk. Can anyone help me. Thanks Siva

Yes you can do that by using the FIND command something like : find $rootDir/log -name '*.txt' -ctime +730 -print -exec mv {} {}.txt \; HOPE it helps
