Change .txt to .csv

bashterminal

How can I rename all *.txt in a directory to *.csv files in the terminal (Mavericks). I tried following inside the directory:

mv *.txt *.csv

You need to loop over all files

for f in *.txt; do
    mv "$f" "${f%.txt}.csv"
done

If you have files with names starting with a . as well you might need to run

for f in *.txt .*.txt; do
    [[ -f "$f" ]] && mv "$f" "${f%.txt}.csv"
done

You can do the following in Terminal:

find . -iname "*.txt" -exec bash -c 'mv "$0" "${0%\.txt}.md"' {} \;

This will recursively rename all .txt files in the current directory to .md.

Try this:

find ~/Downloads/Test -name '*' -exec ls -la -print > ./files.txt {} \;

~/ is equal to: /Users/XXXX

The file "files.txt" is saved in the directory that you run this command.
