Thank you both. Both solutions work fine but I like the simplicity of the second.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I am trying to to a seemingly easy task but seem to do it wrong. I wonder if someone can give me some assistance on this.<br />
<br />
I simply like to find a file and replace it. I looked in google and there are several examples but it seems they are only concerned to rename extensions so somehow I can not make it work.<br />
<br />
What I try to do is to rename the file &quot;.something&quot; to &quot;.anything&quot; across a specified directory and the sup directories within it.<br />
<br />
I would be very happy if someone could assist me on what command to us. I run CentOS 6 Linux.<br />
<br />
Best wishes,<br />

Hi,

I am trying to to a seemingly easy task but seem to do it wrong. I wonder if someone can give me some assistance on this.

What I try to do is to rename the file ".something" to ".anything" across a specified directory and the sup directories within it.

I would be very happy if someone could assist me on what command to us. I run CentOS 6 Linux.

shell find and replace

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.

Shell Scripting

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux.
