I see several solutions using the following snippet...
... and just wanted to suggest not to do that. After the command substitution, filenames will undergo word splitting. If any of them include whitespace (assuming a default IFS value), the value of fn will not be set correctly for each filename (such filenames will be assigned to fn piecemeal over multiple loop iterations).
... will accomplish the task without word splitting issues.
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..

shtool-move
SHTOOL-MOVE.TMP(1) GNU Portable Shell Tool SHTOOL-MOVE.TMP(1)NAME
shtool-move - GNU shtool enhanced mv(1) replacement
SYNOPSIS
shtool move [-v|--verbose] [-t|--trace] [-e|--expand] [-p|--preserve] src-file dst-file
DESCRIPTION
This is a mv(1) style command enhanced with the ability to rename multiple files in a single operation and the ability to detect and not
touch existing equal destinations files, thus preserving timestamps.
OPTIONS
The following command line options are available.
-v, --verbose
Display some processing information.
-t, --trace
Enable the output of the essential shell commands which are executed.
-e, --expand
Expand asterisk in src to be used as ""%"n" (where n is 1,2,...) in dst-file. This is useful for renaming multiple files at once.
-p, --preserve
Detect src-file and dst-file having equal content and not touch existing destination files, thus perserving timestamps. This is useful
for applications that monitor timestamps, i.e. suppress make(1L) repeating actions for unchanged files.
EXAMPLE
# shell script
shtool move -v -e '*.txt' %1.asc
# Makefile
scanner.c: scanner.l
lex scanner.l
shtool move -t -p lex.yy.c scanner.c
HISTORY
The GNU shtool move command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 1999 for GNU shtool.
SEE ALSO shtool(1), mv(1), make(1).
