variable readibility

The full format of the CAD file is cs(ModelYearIdentifier)yyy-70030-123456. So, engineers use a baseline design and make modifications. I have to be my own admin in this regard. Cp and mkdir all go well.

I want to replace the ModelYearIdentifier in the filename. I'm told SED and Perl are over kill for the task at hand. The ModelYearIdentifier is always the 3 character following the 3 types of CAD files.

So, with the posts below, I will try the following;

Code:
for i in lsb*
  code block
done

% is my prompt = C shell on SunOS 5.8.

Code:
finger -m user name
/bin/csh

I still get the i : Undefined Variable.

Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm)				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide			       Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm)

NAME
Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangFam; $lext = code2langfam('apa'); # $lext gets 'Apache languages' $code = langfam2code('Apache languages'); # $code gets 'apa' @codes = all_langfam_codes(); @names = all_langfam_names(); DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::LangFam" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language families, such as those as defined in ISO 639-5. Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639-5 language family codes will be used. SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language families. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant that is automatically exported by this module. For example, the two are equivalent: $lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha'); $lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA); The codesets currently supported are: alpha This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-5 such as 'apa' for Apache languages. This is the default code set. ROUTINES
