I have a number of files
/u01/PROD/arch.PROD.1_1 /u01/PROD/arch.PROD.1_2 /u01/PROD/arch.PROD.1_3 I would like a simple method for moving/renaming them /u01/TEST/arch.TEST.1_1 /u01/TEST/arch.TEST.1_2 /u01/TEST/arch.TEST.1_3 Note the only thing that changes is the PROD to TEST, in file and dir name. I need to this in a script, so loops are fine, will be run via cron, the file numbers change daily. They will not always have the exact _1, _2, _3, this is an incremental number. Any help? |

Code:
#!/bin/ksh cd /u01/PROD for file in arch*; do newfile=`echo $file | sed 's/PROD/TEST/'` mv $file ../TEST/$newfile done This will rename every *PROD* file in the PROD directory to a corresponding *TEST* name in the TEST directory. HTH [Edited by PxT on 11-14-2000 at 11:42 AM] |
