Hello all, thanks for your time (and this forum, what an awesome resource for newbs like myself!)
Anyways, I've been given the task of importing content from a directory of about...7000 HTML files. They are all named appropriately and broken down by name depending on what book they belong too.
For example, say I have the book "my-book" the files are named:
Is there anyway I can just do a find/replace on the entire directory and specify the criteria? Thats the easiest way I could think of for now...doing something like.
FIND "-pagenumber-1." and REPLACE WITH "-pagenumber-001."
FIND "-pagenumber-2." and REPLACE WITH "-pagenumber-002."
FIND "-pagenumber-11." and REPLACE WITH "-pagenumber-011."
Is this possible out of the gates through a command in Terminal? Or maybe there's a script or program I could download to do this for me?
I really appreciate any of the help!
Code:
perl -wl -e 'foreach $file (glob "*.html"){
my $newfile=$file;
$newfile=~s/-([0-9])\./-00$1\./ and rename $file,$newfile and next;
$newfile=~s/-([0-9]{2})\./-0$1\./ and rename $file,$newfile;
}'

I have a .ksh script that creates an sftp batch file and runs it through sftp. It works except for one thing. If I try to "put" to a different name, it doesn't use the specified remote name...it still "puts" the original local name.
I've tried both of these, and neither work...it will always... (4 Replies)
What is wrong with this script to rename batch of similar files? For example renaming all *.txt files to *.tab .
$ for i in seq {01..10}; do touch ${i}.txt; done
$ ./rename.sh *.txt txt tab
Error:

dtmmdbbookgetshorttitle
DtMmdbBookGetShortTitle(library call) DtMmdbBookGetShortTitle(library call)
NAME
DtMmdbBookGetShortTitle -- obtains the short title of a book
SYNOPSIS
#include <DtMmdb.h>
const char* DtMmdbBookGetShortTitle(
DtMmdbInfoRequest* request,
unsigned int* length);
DESCRIPTION
The DtMmdbBookGetShortTitle function returns the short title of the specified book object. Do not use the free function on the returned
pointer. Table lookup is involved when the identifier is specified by either the primary_oid or sequence_num field.
ARGUMENTS
request Specifies the bookcase in the bookcase descriptor field, as well as a valid value in the primary_oid, the secondary_oid, or the
sequence_num field. The primary_oid represents the DtInfo Database object identifier of the TOC section; the secondary_oid rep-
resents the object identifier of the book itself; and the sequence_num represents the sequence number of the book within the
bookcase (0 based). If more than one of these fields have a valid value, the order of precedence is: primary_oid, secondary_oid,
and, last, sequence_num.
length Specifies the variable to receive the length of the returned short title, if the returned pointer to the title is not NULL.
RETURN VALUE
If DtMmdbBookGetShortTitle completes successfully, it returns a pointer to the book's short title. If it fails, it returns a NULL pointer.
EXAMPLE
None.
