and from Alex

 for i in `ls -1 *.asp` ; do mv $i `echo $i | sed 's/\.asp/.php/g'` ; done

which worked for me, so now I'm just curious, Hassan:

Nomad:~/documents/tips Apple$ ripple:/tmp$ for arg in *.asp; do mv $arg
`echo $arg | sed 's/.asp//'`.php; done
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `do'

I don't recognise 'ripple'; am I missing something obvious again?

thankies
