   that's pretty neat! another way it could be done is this oneliner...   
      
   ls -1 *.bad | \   
     tr '\n' '\0' | \   
     xargs -0 -n 1 -i basename "{}" .bad | \   
     tr '\n' '\0' | \   
     xargs -0 -n 1 -i echo mv "{}".bad "{}".tic   
      
   it seems convoluted but actually makes sense once you figure it out... plus it   
   handles files with spaces in their names...   
      
   1. list the *.bad files one per line   
   2. replace newlines with nuls   
   3. use xargs to feed each line to basename to strip leading path and trailing   
   .bad   
   4. replace newlines with nuls   
   5. use xargs to feed each line to mv (remove echo when you see it print the   
   commands as you expect)   
      
   we've been using this following one with various changes depending on the   
   extensions needed... it uses sed recipe for the change of extension and   
   handles files with spaces, too... you just have install rename...   
      
     rename 's/\.bad$/.pkt/' *.bad   
      
   it was very handy when first setting up the new system and traffic was already   
   flowing while we were still configuring the tosser which was renaming a lot of   
   pkts to bad because we were still looking up and configuring the packet   
   passwords :lol:
