blah1
blah2
blah3
blah4
blah5

Each command should take the same two .dat and .ped files, but the .mlinfo and .mlprob files with filenames including 'chrom1' ... (7 Replies)

Hi,
I would like to write a loop to change the names of files in a directory. The files are called data1.txt through data1000.txt. I'd like to change their names to a1.txt through a1000.txt. How do I go about doing that? Thanks! (2 Replies)
Daily stupid question. I want to increment the file name everytime the script is run. So for example if the filename is manager.log and I run the script, I want the next sequence to be manager.log1. So to be clear I only want it to increment when the script is executed. So

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
fileutil::magic::filetype - Procedures implementing file-type recognition
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.4
package require fileutil::magic::filetype ?1.0.2?
::fileutil::magic::filetype filename
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
This package provides a command for the recognition of file types in pure Tcl.
The core part of the recognizer was generated from a "magic(5)" file containing the checks to perform to recognize files, and associated
file-types.
Beware! This recognizer is large, about 276 Kilobyte of generated Tcl code.
::fileutil::magic::filetype filename
This command is similar to the command fileutil::fileType.
The output of the command for the specified file is a string describing the type of the file.
This list will be empty if the type of the file is not recognized.
REFERENCES
[1] File(1) sources [ftp://ftp.astron.com/pub/file/] This site contains the current sources for the file command, including the magic
definitions used by it. The latter were used by us to generate this recognizer.
