Bash rename extension recursive

Question

I know there are a lot of things like this around, but either they don\'t work recursively or they are huge.

This is what I got:

find . -name \"*.so\         


        

Answer 1

What is wrong is that

echo {} | sed s/.so/.dylib/

is only executed once, before the find is launched, sed is given {} on its input, which doesn't match /.so/ and is left unchanged, so your resulting command line is

find . -name "*.so" -exec mv {} {}
