Homework and Emergencies Emergency UNIX and Linux Support Spaces in File Name issue Post 302362373 by sol10admin on Thursday 15th of October 2009 07:17:27 PM

I can't take credit for the meat and potatoes of this script, but I can't remember who gave it to me and from what forum. But it does replace : in file names and replaces them with a - and then changes the file extention to dat. This might work for you. I hope this helps. I use this to take files from UNIX and make them readable in DOS, and then clean up after itself. Smilie

Code:
#!/bin/csh
cd /home/files
# cp $1 /tmp
cp *DH /tmp
cd /tmp
ls -1 *.DH > /tmp/DH.list
set filelist=`cat /tmp/DH.list`
foreach x ($filelist)
        set newname=`echo $x|sed 's/:/-/g'`
        echo $newname
        cp $x /tmp/$newname
end
cd /tmp
ls -1 *.DH > /tmp/DH1.list
set filelist=`cat /tmp/DH1.list`
foreach x ($filelist)
        set newname=`echo $x|sed 's/DH/dat/g'`
        echo $newname
        cp $x /tmp/$newname
end
rm *:*:*.dat
zip dh *.dat
allocate floppy_0 
rm -r /floppy/floppy0/*
cp dh.zip /floppy/floppy0
deallocate floppy_0
rm *.DH
rm *.dat
rm dh.zip
rm DH*
