I'm not sure exactly when I've seen such a rubbish piece of code You are passing each element of that convoluted find command as a filename to grep. That's where the error is coming from - there are just too many filenames to pass as arguments.
Here's my take, which might also be a mis-interpretation of your intentions:
Hi

for file in `ls pdb*.ent`

new_name=`echo $file | sed 's/^pdb//;s/.ent/.txt/'`
mv $file $new_name
done
Its giving error at ' ls pdb*.ent' argument list too long
i have around 150000 entries

Here's the situation.
I have approximately 300000 to 500000 jpg files in /appl/abcd/work_dir
mv /appl/abcd/work_dir /appl/abcd/process_dir
The above move command will work if the jpg files count is close to 50000 (not sure). If the count is less this mv command holds good. But if... (14 Replies)

bzgrep
BZGREP(1) General Commands Manual BZGREP(1)NAME
bzgrep, bzfgrep, bzegrep - search possibly bzip2 compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
bzgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
bzegrep [ egrep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
bzfgrep [ fgrep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Bzgrep is used to invoke the grep on bzip2-compressed files. All options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified,
then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to
grep.
If bzgrep is invoked as bzegrep or bzfgrep then egrep or fgrep is used instead of grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, bzgrep
uses it as the grep program to be invoked. For example:
for sh: GREP=fgrep bzgrep string files
for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; bzgrep string files)
