Sometimes the necessity arises for files in a nested directory structure to have their extensions changed. In the case of asp files, you may need to change their file extensions from '.asp' to '.aspx'. The utility below, which makes good use of the grep command and the basename command will do this for you.

# asp to aspx script
		#!/bin/bash

HOME="/home/djk/aspScript/"  # the directory you want to start with

reDir()
	        {
	
        	        for atom in $( ls -1 $1 ) ;
	                do

if [ -f $1$atom ] ; then
	                               	gOut=`echo $1$atom | grep -E '\.asp' | grep -Ev '\.aspx'`
	                                gSub="junk$gOut"
	
        	                        if [ $gSub != "junk" ] ; then
	                                        bName=`basename $gOut .asp`
                                        	echo "copying $1$atom to $1$bName.aspx"
	                                        cp $1$atom "$1$bName.aspx"
                                	fi
                       	 	fi

if [ -d $1$atom ] ; then
	                                newArg="$1$atom/"
	                                echo $newArg
	                                # make the recursive call
	                                reDir $newArg
	                        fi
