Hi,

This is probably quite simple for an expert, but I keep getting confused about the best approach, grep, awk, sed.

What I have is a range of files numbered 1 to 100. They go

file1.txt
file2.txt

and so on

In each file I need to find and replace a couple of items and rename add a suffix.

Eg file1-new.txt
file2-new.txt

I'd like to be able to run the shell script for example say it's called Renamer.sh in the command line like this Renamer 1

This would grab the file1.txt create file1-new.txt

Renamer 2 would grab the file2.txt create file2-new.txt and so on.

The find and replace I need is to search one large chunk of text that is in xml format so will include characters such as < " and /

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Travis
