Hi ..
I know this must be a very simple question, but it's not in the FAQ.
"mv" looks like it works exactly like "rename" in DOS, except when using
wild card. For example if I wanted to rename all my .t files to .txt, I
expect "mv *.t *.txt" to work .. but it doesn't. Why ? And how do I
accomplish this in BSD unix ?
Thanks in advance
Hany
