A real unix hacker would tell you that to do
rename *.jpeg *.jpg
you can type
ls *.jpeg | sed -e "s/\(..*\).jpeg/mv \1.jpeg \1.jpg/"| /bin/sh
Uses simple tools that unix always has.. (:-> no new fangled languages
needed...
You can do the same over a filesystem..
find / -name "*.jpeg" -print | sed -e "s/\(..*\).jpeg/mv \1.jpeg
\1.jpg/"| /bin/sh
Simple tools used to do complex jobs..
Pete.
