The rename .out "" *.out command is not working, I am getting the following error : syntax error at (eval 1) line 1, near "."

Complete output is as follows $ rename .out "" *.out syntax error at (eval 1) line 1, near "."

Please advise.

Hi Following command worked for me. $ rename 's/.out$//' *.out

Strange. It works for me and seems to meet the syntax given in the man page. What is your OS?
