Ran into a hurdle whereby I needed to convert maybe 30+ xml files to a JSON
extension. But I needed to run them through svn mv rather than just a mv
statement.
After a bit of help and playing around found this gem:
for file in *.xml;
do svn mv $file `basename $file xml`json;
done;
This simply loops through the xml files in the directory, strips out the extension via the basename program/application/utility, appends the JSON extension and svn mv's it.
I heart bash.
