Trying to get the basename of a file without the extension, I found this snippet but it just returns command not found twice:
[Code]....
Also tried (with and without the quotes on input and file_ext):
input=$1
file_ext=.${input##*.}
base=`basename "$input" $file_ext`
executed: convert.sh /path/music.wav But it echoes base as music.wav

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a considerable number of files in a subdirectory (some fascinating old military clips from archive.org - search on Big Picture if interested). Anyhow, I am downloading them using Internet Download Manager running in an XP virtual machine in VMWare on my Ubuntu 10.04 PC (due to the queuing, restart and speed capabilities of IDM). But I digress - the files are being saved on the host (Samba share) without a file extension. So I have a collection of files with names like

I wish to add the extension ".mp4" In Windows this is simply done with the command

This of course does not work in Linux. I have researched the Linux rename command and reviewed a lot of examples. However, I have not found a way to add an extension to a batch of files which are named with no extension to start with. The spaces in the file names also seem to present an issue. At the moment I am renaming them from the Windows VM while they are sitting on the Samba share using the ancient File Manager program from Windows NT which works great on XP. I have experimented with the file rename facility in Gnome Commander however, it does not seem to want to do something so simple.

How do you rename:

Many years ago, I converted a portion of my files to an arbitrary format with a specific extension. i no longer desire to have them in this format and i would like begin the process of replacing them because conversion is not an appropriate solution. unfortunately, they are mixed in separate folders of the same root folder with files in my current format of a different extension. I feel it would make this process easier if I were to move every folder that contained a file with the undesired format to a separate root folder. The files are stored on a Linux server and shared via samba. How can I do this with a couple of commands or a script? I am open to other suggestions as well. I want to avoid time spent editing text files. Ultimately, I'd like a command that produced a list of full paths for folders, sorted by the number of levels would be a nice touch. A list of all of the files is clearly not what I'm looking for.

PHP v5 and Apache 2.2
The situation I've got is that my PHP and Apache installs do not recognize files with the .php5 file extension. I can successfully open .php files in my browser just as I have designed them. However, when I try to open a .php5 file in my browser, it simply outputs the code and not the web page (as it should). I've pasted (what I believe to be) the relevant parts of the output from phpinfo() command below. Any help correcting this is greatly appreciated as I have searched the forums and the Internet fairly exhaustively with various different keywords and still have come up empty. I think if I could figure out how to add ".php5" to the list of "Registered PHP Streams" then I would be all set, but I can't figure that out. I also tried copying /etc/php.ini to /etc/php.d/ and re-naming it php5.ini, but this did not work.
