Print and Append the matching filenames
Hi,

I want to check all files in a folder for some specific start string and append all matching filenames with _1, _2 .... for each file found in the directory.
But, $file below gives me all details of the files like access permissions, owner and filename etc. I just want all the filenames and I hope the blow code shoudl work ??

Code:
i=1
for file in `ls -l |grep "$filename"`
do 
echo "$file"
mv $file $file_i
i=`expr $i + 1`
done



Kindly help.

Chetan Vyas
