[SOLVED] Recursively change file extensions in Bash

Issue

I want to recursively iterate through a directory and change the extension of all files of a certain extension, say .t1 to .t2. What is the bash command for doing this?

Solution

Use:

find . -name "*.t1" -exec bash -c 'mv "$1" "${1%.t1}".t2' - '{}' +

If you have rename available then use one of these:

find . -name '*.t1' -exec rename .t1 .t2 {} +

find . -name "*.t1" -exec rename 's/\.t1$/.t2/' '{}' +
