Since a shell script is really no more than an extended command line
you could do (in a single directory) from the command line:
^^^^^^^^^^^^
for file in `ls *.cc` ## <= note back tics (`...`)
do
mv $file `echo $file|sed 's/\.cc/.cpp/'` # <=Note back tics (`...`)
done
^^^^^^^^^^^
If running bash shell you should be able to say:
touch file1.cc file2.cc file3.cc
Paste the above command (between the ^^^^^^^^^^ marks)
to your command line and execute it to test it out.
Then say `ls *.cpp' to see the results.
