You should be able to use a basic shell loop like this:
for i in *.bks; do mv "$i" "${i/.bks}".zip; done
This will go through a directory of files, find all the ones that match
anything.bks and use the move command to change it from the current name
to the same name with .bks replaced by .zip.

Hi, everyone,
I have many .bks files via Bookshare that I would like to rename as .zip files.
Someone suggested doing this via Terminal, but I'm not sure how to go about
this.
Also, when I try to associate the .bks files with The Unarchiver by right clicking and choosing,
"Open with…" then selecting "Other…" I check the box for "Always open this file
type using this application, but the option does not hold. Does anyone know why this might be? has
anyone else experienced this?
Thanks for any help, guys.
Take care,
Harry
