I want to rename all files in a directory from *.ts to *.mkv
1
Rename all the files in .ts files in a directory
My echo command works but not if I try to make it a new variable.
#!/bin/sh
for file in "${1}"/*.ts; do
echo ${file} | sed -e 's|.ts|.mkv|'
new_name=${file} | sed -e 's|.ts|.mkv|'
done
shell-script files rename

I want to save the renamed file to a variable to pass in another command in the script (input name -> output name). The examples are for renaming them in the directory

The simplest solution would be to tell you to change the assignment to:
new_name=$( echo ${file} | sed -e 's|.ts|.mkv|' )
But a better solution would be to do:
new_name="${file%.ts}.mkv"
