Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Move files using wildcards ??? Post 12244 by rwb1959 on Friday 21st of December 2001 09:37:29 PM

I think Jimbo answered your question about
mv and wild cards. In a nutshell, if the
file name "Nov*df" expands into more than one
file name, you could not logically move it
to a single target file name. Only a directory
name would be valid in this case.

Also, the line...
rename $fname Nname

...should be...
mv $fname $Nname

...don't forget that leading "$" when using
variables in your script (which of course is
not used in variable assignment).

NAME
Font::TTF::Ttc - Truetype Collection class DESCRIPTION
A TrueType collection is a collection of TrueType fonts in one file in which tables may be shared between different directories. In order to support this, the TTC introduces the concept of a table being shared by different TrueType fonts. This begs the question of what should happen to the ' PARENT' property of a particular table. It is made to point to the first directory object which refers to it. It is therefore up to the application to sort out any confusion. Confusion only occurs if shared tables require access to non-shared tables. This should not happen since the shared tables are dealing with glyph information only and the private tables are dealing with encoding and glyph identification. Thus the general direction is from identification to glyph and not the other way around (at least not without knowledge of the particular context). INSTANCE VARIABLES
The following instance variables are preceded by a space fname (P) Filename for this TrueType Collection INFILE (P) The filehandle of this collection The following instance variable does not start with a space directs An array of directories (Font::TTF::Font objects) for each sub-font in the directory METHODS
Font::TTF::Ttc->open($fname) Opens and reads the given filename as a TrueType Collection. Reading a collection involves reading each of the directories which go to make up the collection. $c->read Reads a Collection by reading all the directories in the collection $c->find($direct, $name, $check, $off, $len) Hunts around to see if a table with the given characteristics of name, checksum, offset and length has been associated with a directory earlier in the list. Actually on checks the offset since no two tables can share the same offset in a TrueType font, collection or otherwise. $c->DESTROY Closees any opened files by us BUGS
No known bugs, but then not ever executed! AUTHOR
