Shell Script to rename files
Hi, i need a bit of help writting a tcsh script which renames all ascii text files in the current directory by adding a number to their names before the extension
so for example, a directory containing the files
Hello.txt
Hello.t
Hello
should have the following changes,
Hello.txt should be converted to Hello_a1.txt
Hello.t should be converted to Hello_a2.t
Hello should be converted to Hello_a3
so it should put a _a and a number incrementing accordingly.
*********************************************************
Im new to tcsh scripting, though i tried implementing it, and this is where i get to.
#!/bin/tcsh
set n = 1
foreach f ( * )
echo file $f == ascii
if ( $? == 0 ) then
mv "$f:r" "$f:r"_a$n
@ n += 1
endif
end
echo $n changed
I am aware that some parts are incorrect, and that I might be missing something, thats where i need help.
thanks.
