Have Problems adding an extension to files in a directory

[dshaw21369]

I'm Trying add an .edi extenion to the file that originally looks like this: i.gtp.030206065504
I would like it to look like this: i.gtp.030206065504.edi


When using this code Im getting the error: Cannot rename *gtp.* to *gtp.*edi:

This is my code:


OLDSUFFIX=
NEWSUFFIX=edi
for FILES in *gtp.*"$OLDSUFFIX"
do
NEWNAME=`echo "$FILES" | sed -e "s/${OLDSUFFIX}\$/$NEWSUFFIX/"`
mv "$FILES" "$NEWNAME"
done

Any Suggestions would be appreciated!!!!

how about:

for i in *gtp*; do
  mv "$i" "$i".edi
done

the "" are tossed in to accomodate spaces in the filenames. remove them if not necessary or cause any problems.
