basename
And you probably would be better off using that in the conversion script,
to get it right the first time, rather than have to make one pass to
convert and then another to fix the names.
Just FYI, my conversions are done more like this:
for temp in $*
do
PIC=`basename $temp .TIF`
convert ${PIC}.TIF ${PIC}.gif
done
exit 0
$* (and $@ for that matter) expand to "$1 $2 ... $n"
...which means you can enter the files on the command line, for more
flexibility:
mytif2mpg bob.TIF fred.TIF sophie.TIF
or mytif2jpg *.TIF
or mytif2jpg bob*.TIF
Note there is some sloppiness in the above script. You want to put in some
error catching stuff (like you had) etc. It does everything in the current
directory.
Also, convert is able to do resizing (-geometry) and rotation (-rotate).
