I think both forms of the loops are choking because the whitespace in the file names. The shell uses the value of IFS to break apart fields, and this is usually a white space. Using a shell 'for' loop in the form of
Code:
for file in $( ls Illustrator* ) #modern form of: for file in `ls Illustrator*`
will break all the files names apart on white spaces (or more accurately on the values in $IFS). You will get the error of "[utility]: No such file or directory [file fragment]"
the other 'for' loop form of:
Code:
for file in '$( ls Illustrator* )' #or for file in "$( ls Illustrator* )"
also does not work because the shell loop returns a single monolithic paragraph with ALL the files names in it.
You can a) rename all the files with no white space, or b) use a form of loop that can use asciz strings for the loop, c) use Perl.
The general form of loop 'b' that can use ASCIZ strings in the loop is like this:
Code:
find [directory] -type f [-maxdepth X] -print0 | while read -d $'\0' file
do
#rename the files
done
Note the "-print0" and the "while read -d $'\0'". The first reads the file names and puts them in a string that is terminated by a ASCII NUL; the second sets a while loop that reads the list with NUL terminators...
Hi,
can anyone have a ksh script to rename multiple files (ie to remove .Z extension of the files)
can someone correct this?
for i in *.Z
do
var1 = substr($i, 1,at(".Z",$i)-1)
mv $i $var1
done
Thanks..

io::async::signal
IO::Async::Signal(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation IO::Async::Signal(3pm)NAME
"IO::Async::Signal" - event callback on receipt of a POSIX signal
SYNOPSIS
use IO::Async::Signal;
use IO::Async::Loop;
my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new;
my $signal = IO::Async::Signal->new(
name => "HUP",
on_receipt => sub {
print "I caught SIGHUP
";
},
);
$loop->add( $signal );
$loop->run;
DESCRIPTION
This subclass of IO::Async::Notifier invokes its callback when a particular POSIX signal is received.
Multiple objects can be added to a "Loop" that all watch for the same signal. The callback functions will all be invoked, in no particular
order.
EVENTS
The following events are invoked, either using subclass methods or CODE references in parameters:
on_receipt
Invoked when the signal is received.
PARAMETERS
The following named parameters may be passed to "new" or "configure":
name => STRING
The name of the signal to watch. This should be a bare name like "TERM". Can only be given at construction time.
on_receipt => CODE
CODE reference for the "on_receipt" event.
Once constructed, the "Signal" will need to be added to the "Loop" before it will work.
