Rename files in sub directories with sequential numbers
I can rename a file with sequential numbers from 1 to N with this script:
The script begins with renaming a some.dat file to 1.dat.txt and goes on sequentially renaming other DAT files to 2.dat.txt, 3.dat.txt and so on.
This script works very well on my Linux system when I have one directory with all DAT files in it. But it cannot work when I have a parent directory with sub directories. My directory structure is like this:
Parent Directory and inside parent directory there are 20 more sub directories and inside those sub directories are the DAT files.
Is there any way I can modify the above script so that (I am in my parent directory and run this script) it takes in one sub-directory and renames all the files in that directory in sequential numbers say 1 to N, then goes to another sub-directory and renames from N+1 to M, then goes to third sub-directory and renames from M+1 to X and so on?
i have hundreds of directories that have to be renamed. the directory structure is fairly uniform which makes the scripting a little simpler.
suppose i have many directories like this */*/*/*abc* (in other words i have similar directory names 3 dirs deep that all contain the pattern abc in... (8 Replies)
Hi Unix gurus,
I have a file. I need to insert sequential number at the starting of the file. Fields are delimited by "|". I know the starting number.
Example:
File is as follows

datadm - maintain DAT static registry file
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/datadm [-v] [-u] [-a service_provider.conf] [-r service_provider.conf]
The datadm utility maintains the DAT static registry file, dat.conf(4).
This administrative configuration program allows uDAPL service providers to add and remove themselves to the dat.conf file.
You can add or remove interface adapters that a service provider supports from a system after its installation. You can use datadm to
update the dat.conf file to reflect the current state of the system. A new set of interface adapters for all the service providers cur-
rently installed is regenerated.
The following options are supported:
-a service_provider.conf
Enumerate each device entry in the service_provider.conf(4) file into a list of interface adapters, that is, interfaces to external
network that are available to uDAPL consumers.
-r service_provider.conf
Remove the list of interface adapters that corresponds to the device entry in the service_provider.conf(4) file.
-u
Update the dat.conf to reflect the current state of the system with an up to date set of interface adapters for the service providers
that are currently listed in the DAT static registry.
-v
Display the DAT static registry file, dat.conf.
Example 1: Enumerating a Device Entry
The following example enumerates a device entry in the service_provider.conf(4) file into interface adapters in the dat.conf(4) file.
Assume that SUNW has a service provider library that supports the device tavor. It has a service_provider.conf(4) file installed in the
directory /usr/share/dat/SUNWudaplt.conf with a single entry as follows:
driver_name=tavor u1.2 nonthreadsafe default udapl_tavor.so.1 SUNW.1.0 ""
tavor is an Infiniband Host Channel Adapter with two ports. Both IB ports exist in a single IB partition, 0x8001. If an IP interface is
plumbed to each port, there are two IPoIB device instances, ibd0 and ibd1:
# ls -l /dev/ibd*
/dev/ibd0 -> /devices/pci@1/pci15b3,5a44@0/ibport@1,8001,ipib:ibd0
/dev/ibd1 -> /devices/pci@1/pci15b3,5a44@0/ibport@2,8001,ipib:ibd1
Running the command, datadm -a /usr/share/dat/SUNWudaplt.conf appends two new entries (if they do not already exists]) in the
/etc/dat/dat.conffile:
ibd0 u1.2 nonthreadsafe default udapl_tavor.so.1 SUNW.1.0 ""
"driver_name=tavor"
ibd1 u1.2 nonthreadsafe default udapl_tavor.so.1 SUNW.1.0 ""
"driver_name=tavor"
Example 2: Updating the dat.conf to Reflect the Current State of the System
A new IB partition, 0x8002 is added to the above example covering port 1 of the Host Channel Adapter. If a new IP interface is plumbed to
port 1/partition 0x8002, there is a third IPoIB device instance: ibd2.
# ls -l /dev/ibd*
/dev/ibd0 -> /devices/pci@1/pci15b3,5a44@0/ibport@1,8001,ipib:ibd0
/dev/ibd1 -> /devices/pci@1/pci15b3,5a44@0/ibport@2,8001,ipib:ibd1
/dev/ibd2 -> /devices/pci@1/pci15b3,5a44@0/ibport@1,8002,ipib:ibd2
Running datadm -u command, updates the /etc/dat/dat.conf file with a new entry added reflecting the current state of the system.
datadm -v shows that there are now three entries in the /etc/dat/dat.conf file:
ibd0 u1.2 nonthreadsafe default udapl_tavor.so.1 SUNW.1.0 ""
"driver_name=tavor"
ibd1 u1.2 nonthreadsafe default udapl_tavor.so.1 SUNW.1.0 ""
"driver_name=tavor"
ibd2 u1.2 nonthreadsafe default udapl_tavor.so.1 SUNW.1.0 ""
"driver_name=tavor"
