Title Renaming a whole series of files
Ref. No. QNX.000009374
Category(ies) Utilities
Issue In QNX4, we have a directory that has over 100 HTML files that end in .htm that we want to rename to .html.

What is an easy way to do this?

Solution find . -type f -name '*.htm' -exec 'mv {} {3}html' ;

This will look from the current directory (it will search all the subdirectories) for files (not links) that end end with  *.htm  and rename them to  *.html endings.

For example, index.htm would turn into index.html
