If that's a problem, then you probably do want to revert to sed: $ echo lamp3.MP3 | sed -e "s/[Mm][Pp]3$/wav/g" lamp3.wav ------end snip--------- Another solution would be: wavfile=`echo $file | sed -e "s/\.mp3/.wav/g" This works for the lamp3.mp3 example. It wouldn't work as well for lamp.mp3file.mp3 -- Robert P.
