Rename file based on first 3 characters of data in file
I'm looking to determine if I can use a grep command to read file and rename the file based on the first 3 characters of the data in the file.
An example is: Read FileA If the first 3 positions of the data in the file are "ITP", then rename the file as FileA_ITP, else if the first 3 positions are "UNB" then rename the file FileA_UNB. I believe I might be able to use the GREP command to identify the data but not sure how to rename the file being processed. Appreciate any feedback. |
