remove pound sign from filename
Surpisingly, I've only found information regarding removal of files with special characters in the name. My problem is this: files are downloaded to my Unix box from mainframe, and each one has a pound sign as the first character of the filename.
original:
#FONT
what I need:
FONT
Can anyone point me in the right direction here? I feel as though it's "on the tip of my tongue" so to speak.
Thanks,
kristy

We need to print the sterling pound sign on printers connected directly to a terminal and configured using the /dev/null device.
We have used mapchan to enable this on the printers connected directly to the SCO server. Any idea how this can be activated?

In a foreach loop I end up with $file containing the filename INCLUDING the whole path. I want this reduced to just the filename, but I can't seem to remember how I did it some years back. I am sure I can do it with "sed", but I am pretty sure I have seen a simpler command.
Anyone?

Hi all,
Can I edit this script:

so that it will not only take out abc from the filename but also take out any numbers that might be in the filename as well.
An example would be,

mdbfontsize
mdbFontSize(5) The m17n Library mdbFontSize(5)
NAME
mdbFontSize - Font Size
DESCRIPTION
In some case, a font contains incorrect information about its size (typically in the case of a hacked TrueType font), which results in a
bad text layout when such a font is used in combination with the other fonts. To overcome this problem, the m17n library loads information
about font-size adjustment from the m17n database by the tags <font, resize>. The data is loaded as a plist of this format.
FONT-SIZE-ADJUSTMENT ::= PER-FONT *
PER-FONT ::= '(' FONT-SPEC ADJUST-RATIO ')'
FONT-SPEC ::=
'(' [ FOUNDRY FAMILY
[ WEIGHT [ STYLE [ STRETCH [ ADSTYLE ]]]]]
REGISTRY ')'
ADJUST-RATIO ::= INTEGER
FONT-SPEC is to specify properties of a font. FOUNDRY to REGISTRY are symbols corresponding to Mfoundry to Mregistry property of a font.
See m17nFont for the meaning of each property.
ADJUST-RATIO is an integer number specifying by percentage how much the font-size must be adjusted. For instance, this PER-FONT:
((devanagari-cdac) 150)
instructs the font handler of the m17n library to open a font of 1.5 times bigger than a requested size on opening a font whose registry is
'devanagari-cdac'.
