Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting increment counter as suffix starting with the rightmost digit Post 302583775 by itkamaraj on Wednesday 21st of December 2011 08:26:54 AM

Code:
$ for i in *; do j=`expr $j + 1`; echo "$i" | nawk -v seq="$j" '{printf("%s %05i\n",$1,seq)}'; done > output.txt
$ while read name suffix; do echo mv $name $name.$suffix; done < output.txt

Once, you are satisfied with the above echo command, you can remove the echo command.
