is it possible to change all files name from blablabla.done to blablabla without done?
Hey there,
Just a word of practical advice. If you really "need" a solution and don't have time to wait for someone else to take of their own time to help you with your problem, try doing a search on google for something like:
and you'll have your answer straight away
Best wishes,
Mike

You can change filenames in batch by using the freeware tool "lupasrename".
I am sure it works for folder and filenames. You can select a group of files or folders and
> add or delete txt
> replace txt >>> this is the one you need !!!
> Crop left or right with N characters
> autonumber
I am not sure whether your files are all in the same folder or not. In case not, you probably will have to group them in one folder, then do the filename transformation, and then put them back in their respective original folders again.
Hope this helps

You don't need ls.
You don't need basename (an external command).
Your script will fail if any filenames contain spaces, because you haven't quoted "$line" and "$(basename $line .done)"
for file in *.done do mv "$file" "${file%.done}" done
