Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to define two variable in foreach command?? Post 26444 by asifraj on Monday 19th of August 2002 03:39:00 AM

hi,
i would suggest a different approach.

list the names of all the files in a file

$ ls > outfile

now the file new_name is expected to contain 1000 names
so paste the two files

$paste outfile new_name > newfile

the newfile will contain

d1 omd1
d2 omd2
d3 omd3
... and so on

now open the file and prepend "mv" to the beginning of each line

$vi newfile

:%s/^/mv /g

don't forget the space
now save the file
and say
$sh newfile

and bingo...

hope it helps
