I want to rename all files in a directory from *.ts to *.mkv

I want to rename all files in a directory from .ts to .mkv

Rename all the files in .ts files in a directory
My echo command works but not if I try to make it a new variable.

#!/bin/sh

for file in "${1}"/*.ts; do

  echo ${file} | sed -e 's|.ts|.mkv|'

  new_name=${file} | sed -e 's|.ts|.mkv|'

done

Just use rename. If the Perl version, it's just rename 's/.ts$/.mkv' *.

I want to save the renamed file to a variable to pass in another command in the script (input name -> output name). The examples are for renaming them in the directory

Are your files named with .ts actually Matroska files?

The simplest solution would be to tell you to change the assignment to:

new_name=$( echo ${file} | sed -e 's|.ts|.mkv|' )

But a better solution would be to do:

new_name="${file%.ts}.mkv"
