wow, that's very ambitious. if you think this will be a utility you will need over and over, and if you want to use regular expressions, you will have to define all the different patterns you want to support. and then this would explode into a whole big bulky utility that just renames the file.
usually when i am trying to rename files on the go, i list the names to a file, make the changes i want and just run the mv commands. something like so:
1.
2. edit the file 'files' and make any necessary changes
i have a set of *.lst files. now i want to change the names from "lst" to "dat". how to do it?

Hello!
I am not familiar with UNIX and I have this problem:
I need to move files from a UNIX machine to a PC. UNIX file names contain ":" as special character which is not recognized in a PC.
How can I change ":" for "_" in the name of a bunch of files in UNIX?
Thanks for your help. (7 Replies)

xkbresizedevicebuttonactions
XkbResizeDeviceButtonActions(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbResizeDeviceButtonActions(3)NAME
XkbResizeDeviceButtonActions - Allocate additional space for button actions in an XkbDeviceInfoRec structure
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbResizeDeviceButtonActions ( device_info, new_total )
XkbDeviceInfoPtr device_info;
unsigned int new_total;
ARGUMENTS
- device_info
structure in which to allocate button actions
- new_total
new total number of button actions needed
DESCRIPTION
XkbResizeDeviceButtonActions reallocates space, if necessary, to make sure there is room for a total of new_total button actions in the
device_info structure. Any new entries allocated are zeroed. If successful, XkbResizeDeviceButtonActions returns Success. If new_total is
zero, all button actions are deleted, device_info->num_btns is set to zero, and device_info->btn_acts is set to NULL. If device_info is
invalid or new_total is greater than 255, BadValue is returned. If a memory allocation failure occurs, a BadAlloc is returned.
To free an XkbDeviceInfoRec structure, use XkbFreeDeviceInfo.
STRUCTURES
Information about X Input Extension devices is transferred between a client program and the Xkb extension in an XkbDeviceInfoRec structure:
typedef struct {
char * name; /* name for device */
Atom type; /* name for class of devices */
unsigned short device_spec; /* device of interest */
Bool has_own_state; /* True=>this device has its own state */
unsigned short supported; /* bits indicating supported capabilities */
unsigned short unsupported; /* bits indicating unsupported capabilities */
unsigned short num_btns; /* number of entries in btn_acts */
XkbAction * btn_acts; /* button actions */
unsigned short sz_leds; /* total number of entries in LEDs vector */
unsigned short num_leds; /* number of valid entries in LEDs vector */
unsigned short dflt_kbd_fb; /* input extension ID of default (core kbd) indicator */
unsigned short dflt_led_fb; /* input extension ID of default indicator feedback */
XkbDeviceLedInfoPtr leds; /* LED descriptions */
} XkbDeviceInfoRec, *XkbDeviceInfoPtr;
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage
BadValue An argument is out of range
