rename multiple files
Hi,
can anyone have a ksh script to rename multiple files (ie to remove .Z extension of the files) can someone correct this? for i in *.Z do var1 = substr($i, 1,at(".Z",$i)-1) mv $i $var1 done Thanks.. Antony |

One approach, although not sure if basename exists in all unix flavors
The following does a copy; you can change to the move (mv) command Code:
> cat copy_csv #! /bin/bash for i in *.csv do var1=$(basename "$i" .csv) cp $i $var1 done |

Another one: Code:
ls *.Z|sed 's/\(.*\)\.Z/mv & \1/'|sh Try this first to be shure you get the right files before sh do the job: Code:
ls *.Z|sed 's/\(.*\)\.Z/mv & \1/' Regards |

Code:
ls *.Z|sed 's/\(.*\)\.Z/mv & \1/' Code:
\(.*\) A saved substring wich can be recalled with \1 Code:
\.Z Sed use a greedy match so it saves the part before the last "." in the substring This isolated every characters after the "." from the substring Code:
mv & \1 This gives the mv command, the ampersand makes it possible to reference the entire match in the replacement string. Regards |
