Thank you! Your bash 1 liner does the trick as I dont have mmv in cygwin by default. Woot!

rename 's/.abc$/.123$/' *.abc

for i in *.abc; do mv $i `echo $i|sed 's/.abc$/.123$/'`; done
can be done in bash with:
for i in *.abc; do mv "$i" "${i/.abc/.123}"; done

If you omit the " (as you do in your expression) you will not treat filenames with spaces correctly, furthermore the regex is incorrect . is a wildcard in your expression - it should be escaped vie \.

Cheers,
Konrad
