I strongly advise that you hide these filenames from Shell and avoid trying to put them into Shell environment variables. Try to work with external commands only.
Use unix "find" to generate a list of filenames into a file.
Then create a "sed" file containing your "sed" commands. Because Shell will not see them we only need to escape characters where "sed" requires it (which it will with some of these filenames!).
Run with the outline syntax:
Code:
sed -f sed_scriptfile filename
Throughout this exercise we must avoid Shell seeing the filenames.

Hey folks
My problem is simple. For my first stash of movies, I used a naming convention of YEAR_MOVIE_NAME__QUALITY/ for each movie folder. For example, if I had a 1080p print of Minority Report, it would be 2002_Minority_Report__1080p/.
The 2nd time around, I changed the naming convention... (4 Replies)

CPANPLUS::Shell
SYNOPSIS
use CPANPLUS::Shell; # load the shell indicated by your
# config -- defaults to
# CPANPLUS::Shell::Default
use CPANPLUS::Shell qw[Classic] # load CPANPLUS::Shell::Classic;
my $ui = CPANPLUS::Shell->new();
my $name = $ui->which; # Find out what shell you loaded
$ui->shell; # run the ui shell
DESCRIPTION
This module is the generic loading (and base class) for all "CPANPLUS" shells. Through this module you can load any installed "CPANPLUS"
shell.
Just about all the functionality is provided by the shell that you have loaded, and not by this class (which merely functions as a generic
loading class), so please consult the documentation of your shell of choice.

Please report bugs or other issues to <bug-cpanplus@rt.cpan.org<gt>.
