Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting how to rename multiple files with a single command Post 302071600 by Perderabo on Saturday 22nd of April 2006 10:00:31 AM

Yeah...but it is a rather complex command and requires a powerful shell (I'm using ksh). We need a pattern that will match those 4 files and only those 4 files. I will assume that 01.AR.* will do that.
Code:
$ ls *AR*
01.AR.asset     01.AR.asset.vf  01.AR.asset.xv  01.AR.index
$ for i in 01.AR.* ; do mv $i 73${i#01}.Z ; done
$ ls *AR*
73.AR.asset.Z           73.AR.asset.xv.Z
73.AR.asset.vf.Z        73.AR.index.Z
$

Mojo::Asset::File(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    Mojo::Asset::File(3pm)

NAME
Mojo::Asset::File - File storage for HTTP 1.1 content SYNOPSIS
use Mojo::Asset::File; # Temporary file my $file = Mojo::Asset::File->new; $file->add_chunk('foo bar baz'); say 'File contains "bar"' if $file->contains('bar') >= 0; say $file->slurp; # Existing file my $file = Mojo::Asset::File->new(path => '/home/sri/foo.txt'); $file->move_to('/yada.txt'); say $file->slurp; DESCRIPTION
Mojo::Asset::File is a file storage backend for HTTP 1.1 content. ATTRIBUTES
Mojo::Asset::File inherits all attributes from Mojo::Asset and implements the following new ones. "cleanup" my $cleanup = $file->cleanup; $file = $file->cleanup(1); Delete file automatically once it's not used anymore. "handle" my $handle = $file->handle; $file = $file->handle(IO::File->new); File handle, created on demand. "path" my $path = $file->path; $file = $file->path('/home/sri/foo.txt'); File path used to create "handle", can also be automatically generated if necessary. "tmpdir" my $tmpdir = $file->tmpdir; $file = $file->tmpdir('/tmp'); Temporary directory used to generate "path", defaults to the value of the "MOJO_TMPDIR" environment variable or auto detection. METHODS
Mojo::Asset::File inherits all methods from Mojo::Asset and implements the following new ones. "add_chunk" $file = $file->add_chunk('foo bar baz'); Add chunk of data. "contains" my $position = $file->contains('bar'); Check if asset contains a specific string. "get_chunk" my $chunk = $file->get_chunk($start); Get chunk of data starting from a specific position. "is_file" my $true = $file->is_file; True. "move_to" $file = $file->move_to('/home/sri/bar.txt'); Move asset data into a specific file and disable "cleanup". "size" my $size = $file->size; Size of asset data in bytes. "slurp" my $string = $file->slurp; Read all asset data at once. SEE ALSO
