That will change 'x.sh' to 'x' without trailing dot.
Exactly what's desired.
Ubuntu/Debian distros will include 'rename' where you can use regex.
How does `rename` (a Perl program, I believe?) handle globbing and
pathname expansion?
i.e. in a folder with 3 files: one.sh, two.sh, file.tar, typing:
rename *.sh *
means rename gets passed these parameters:
one.sh two.sh one.sh two.sh file.tar
I'd be curious how they handle that (I expect requiring params to be
quoted).
Thanks
