renaming the default output name of the split command

Hello,

I would like to split a file but I dont what the subfiles to be named the way they are:

Code:
 
ex:
default name: xaa xab xac xad xae
desired name: b01 b02 b03 b04 b05

I know I can rename them afterwards however I have a varialbe split lenghth, in other words I am not sure how many subfiles I will have.
That is up to the user of the script.

I am using an if statement for renaming these but it makes my script really long and I can never catch all the possibilites since there are infinit number of subfiles the user might want.

This is what I am doing (not very smart):
Code:
 
If ( `echo $NumofSub` == 2 ) then
  mv xaa b01.txt
  mv xab b02.txt
else if ( ..... so forth

I hope I am clear enough, but if not please let me know if you have any
questions. I am using tcsh by the way I know I shouldnt but my whole script is in tcsh, cant change it now.

Have learnd my lesson and will most likely use bash for my next script.

if any one is interested, I wrote this which works Smilie.

Code:
 
#!/bin/tcsh
#batch rename
 
split -l 40 260_sites.txt
@ bnum = 1
foreach batch ( `ls | grep xa` )
 mv $batch b0"$bnum".txt
 @ bnum = $bnum + 1
end

NAME
Locale::Codes::Script - standard codes for script identification SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::Script; $script = code2script('phnx'); # 'Phoenician' $code = script2code('Phoenician'); # 'Phnx' $code = script2code('Phoenician', LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC); # 115 @codes = all_script_codes(); @scripts = all_script_names(); DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::Script" module provides access to standards codes used for identifying scripts, such as those defined in ISO 15924. Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 15924 four-letter codes will be used. SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying scripts. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant that is automatically exported by this module. For example, the two are equivalent: $script = code2script('phnx','alpha'); $script = code2script('phnx',LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA); The codesets currently supported are: alpha, LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA This is a set of four-letter (capitalized) codes from ISO 15924 such as 'Phnx' for Phoenician. It also includes additions to this set included in the IANA language registry. The Zxxx, Zyyy, and Zzzz codes are not used. This is the default code set. num, LOCALE_SCRIPT_NUMERIC This is a set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 15924 such as 115 for Phoenician. ROUTINES
