1. Avoid using c shell. It is horrible for coding.
2. Use the following script (rename.sh):
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
if [ -e $1 ]; then
cp "$1" "$1"_fails
fi
as
Code:
ksh rename.sh abcd

I have not worked a lot with c shell. But I guess it is something like:
Code:
set var_name value
Thanks jaws using the set before the variable name worked. However if looks like with the c shell that the syntax is different for a lot of things. For the if statement it needs round brackets instead of square ones for example.
By the way your code produces the wrong output if you have a suffix at the end of the filename. I need the _fails before the suffix.

Hi Ranga,
How exactly does the last part of the following line work
Code:
mv ${base} ${base/./_fails.}
It works fine with bash but not with csh. If I understood how it worked then maybe I could rewrite it for csh.
It takes the input filename test1.txt.
It then somehow puts _fails before the .txt.
