Hi Rakesh,

Please test the solutions you propose before posting here. Do you think this
will work? For mv, if there are more that two command line arguments (apart
from the switches), then the last one has to be a directory.

One method is to run the script (in bash):

for i in *cc; do base=$(basename $i .cc); newname=${base}.cpp; mv $i $newname; done
