Hello all,

My shell script takes a jpeg file as the input like this: myscript test.jpg.

After some processing I then create an empty file in a subdirectory named 
text like this: touch ../text/$1.

The question is, how do I replace the suffix jpg with txt? In this case I 
want to end up with a file called test.txt.

My initial efforts have centred around sed s/jpg/txt/ and mv but without 
success.
