Bash command help--cut

[neidorff]

Hi,

This baffles me, but should be very simple.

I have a directory with names of audio files.  I want to convert from one
audio format to another.  No problem there.

I want to create a script to do handle the change of file extension chores.
I came up with this:

#!/bin/bash
FILES=$(ls *.flac | cut -f1 -d\.)
for i in $FILES; do
echo converting: $i

flac -sd $i.flac -o  wav/$i.wav
done
