I want to rename all files in a directory from *.ts to *.mkv












1















Rename all the files in .ts files in a directory
My echo command works but not if I try to make it a new variable.



#!/bin/sh

for file in "${1}"/*.ts; do

  echo ${file} | sed -e 's|.ts|.mkv|'

  new_name=${file} | sed -e 's|.ts|.mkv|'

done





shell-script files rename

The simplest solution would be to tell you to change the assignment to:



new_name=$( echo ${file} | sed -e 's|.ts|.mkv|' )


But a better solution would be to do:



new_name="${file%.ts}.mkv"
