Renaming list of files with version numbers
Hi,
I have a need to rename a list of files with a suffix .v1, .v2, v3 etc. and would like to keep a maximum of 6 versions.

example:
I have abc.sql in my current dir. and as part of a successful completion of another script I want to move abc.sql -> abc.sql.v1.

When I run the original script again, I want to move
abc.sql.v1 -> abc.sql.v2 and the current abc.sql -> abc.sql.v1

The third time...abc.sql.v2 -> abc.sql.v3 and so on....

I would like to keep 6 versions of the files (abc.sql.v6)

Is there an easy way using scripting/awk to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.
