[SOLVED] Rename file using xargs -a file

Issue

I have several files:

test1.log
test2.log
test3.log
test.txt

test.txt contains:

./test1.log
./test2.log
./test3.log

I want to be able to use my:

test.txt

with

xargs -a test.txt ......

to rename

 test1.log
 test2.log
 test3.log 

to .txt files:

 test1.txt
 test2.txt
 test3.txt

Is there a way of doing so with rename,sed,sub,or awk?

Solution

I found my answer at this link:

http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/8368/bulk-rename-files-with-sed-one-liner

It isn't exactly what I wanted to do, but it works:

ls *.log | sed -e 'p;s/.log/.txt/' | xargs -n2 mv
