do this: (ksh scripting):

for x in *php
do
bname = $(echo $x |cut -d. -f1)
cp $x ${bname}.php3
done


then verify everything lookas as it should and mv the old php files into a temp directory to make sure the functionality still works

I use unix @ work daily... you can script a lot of things right on the command line... I use Perl (not the same perl though, file manipulation) and Korn daily... lemme know how it works for you

well can you tell me what i need to do to enter the script in? I did something and a little ">" thing poped up....is that what i need?
