Shell script to add the extension to doc and pdf files

[Tailor]

I am trying to develop a shell script which i will be using it in Linux, where i am trying to add an extension to a large number of pdf and doc files. Frankly speaking i don't have any idea about it but has some basic programming language, can anyone provide me with the code which can fulfill my requirements.

If you really want to add extension to your doc and pdf files then i would suggest you to use the following code in your script and i am sure this will realy help you a lot.

/ bin / sh
for i in `ls-l | awk '(print $ 8)'`
do
var = $ (file $ i | grep-i pdf | awk '(print $ 2)')
if [ "$ var" == "PDF"] then
echo $ var;
cp $ i $ i.pdf;
else
cp $ i $ I.doc;
echo "BAD";
if;

Thank you for replying me i had try to use the above code in my Shell script over here i am facing some issue where it copies all the files through .doc and teh code is not working for pdf files, can anyone tell me what's the exact issue with the code.

Sorry i had done a very small mistake that i had inserted 2 equal sign instead of one, this is one of the reason for all the files get copy through the. Doc and not pdf files and i had made changes in the code have a look at it.

/ bin / sh
for i in `ls-l | awk '(print $ 8)'`
do
var = $ (file $ i | grep-i pdf | awk '(print $ 2)')
if [ "$ var" = "PDF"] then
cp $ i $ i.pdf;
else
cp $ i $ I.doc;
if;

$> Bash-x monscript.sh
