Hi Jim,

It's giving an error saying...


Command '"./changeBatchID.sh"'
failed with return code 0 and error message
./changeBatchID.sh: line 15: nexus-/27041: No such file or directory
mv: missing destination file operand after `nexus-1234'
Try `mv --help' for more information..


Here is the code I have so far...

Code:
for filename in ./*
 do	

   if [ -f "$filename" ]   
       then
	    file="${filename#*/}"; 
           #echo $file >> $LOGFILE 
	    if [[ "$file" == nexus* ]]
	    then
              var="nexus-1234"
		new_var= "${var/[0-9]*//}$( printf "%04d" ${RANDOM})";
		mv $var $newvar             
  	    fi  
   fi   
 done;
