Shell Programming and Scripting

Code:

 
#!/bin/ksh
for i in *.new
do
    mv "$i" "${i%*.new}"
done

Thanks msabhi...prior to this example I was assuming that it is not possible to use shell commands inside sed.
Could you please tell about some shell commands that could be used inside sed ?

He's not.

Leave the | sh off the end to see what it does.

Yes as corona pointed out, am not using any shell command inside sed there...i am just executing whats thrown out by sed...
My knowledge is limited on usage of shell commands inside sed..but from what i remember from my experience, we can use some commands like echo inside sed like below

Code:

sed "1i `echo FIRST`" tmp_file

But you can't use cat command inside sed or i have failed trying to use cat command inside sed..

Ah..Great...
Thanks Corona...learnt something new today !!

all these commands were helpful and I used thell
Cheers
