I need help with something that I think is very simple. My mind is over thinking the process and I cant seem to think of any easy way to accomplish something.

I have a several files in a directory such as this:

test001.txt
test002.txt
test003.txt
test004.txt

I want to rename the extension on the whole list to be something different like this:

test001.xyz
test002.xyz
test003.xyz
test004.xyz

Is there an easy way with the cp or mv command to take test*.txt and create the new files as test*.xyz?

Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated,

Mark
