Hello,
I want to remove .txt from every file name:
for file in *.txt; des=$(echo $file | sed 's/\.txt//'); mv "$file" "$des"; done
but this gives me:
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `des=$(echo $file | sed 's/\.txt//')'
I understand that there's other ways of doing this but I am wondering why my method doesn't work.
Thank you.
