script for renaming files

Postby muskrat » Mon Jun 18, 2007 11:59 am

I currently have a bunch of files (approximately 250) in a directory that I need to rename. They currently end in .tar.tar instead of .tar.bz2 which they should. While its possible for me to rename each by hand, I'd rather not if there is a way to do it with a script. The environment is a bash shell under linux.
