Wow! I've been using Linux for a year, and even from
the first week I
have been trying (without success) to figure out how
to do exactly
that (ren *.doc *.txt). I have still not succeeded.
I'm not great at
Bash shell programming and I apologize for my
ignorance, but please
Mike, reveal the shell script you use to do this.
TIA,
