So I have a hundred or so time series files labeled as such:
10831ascii_vF.anom.txt
13165ascii_vF.anom.txt
83437ascii_vF.anom.txt

Now I have a main program to run, which when I run, runs based upon a user_prefs text file which tells the main program which time series to use, and specifies several other options for the main program. However, I am only interested in changing the name of the time series in the varying runs.

So more or less I want to run the main program through for each time series, but want to do so without having to run that program over a hundred times manually each time opening, editing, and closing the user_prefs file.

So all I really need is a command which I could have in a loop to change the name of the time series based upon all the time series within the directory.
So some type of script structured as this:

For this time series
Change User Prefs, replacing old time series with new time series name (just deleting and replacing a line with new file name)
Run main program coaps.py
Re Loop

I have never worked with awk so any help would be perfect. Thanks.

hpt27xx

HPT27XX(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						HPT27XX(4)

NAME

     hpt27xx -- HighPoint RocketRAID 27xx SAS 6Gb/s HBA card driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

	   device hpt27xx

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   hpt27xx_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The hpt27xx driver provides support for HighPoint's RocketRAID 27xx based RAID controller.

     These devices support SAS disk drives and provide RAID0 (striping), RAID1 (mirroring), and RAID5 functionality.

HARDWARE

     The hpt27xx driver supports the following SAS controllers:

     o	 HighPoint's RocketRAID 271x series
     o	 HighPoint's RocketRAID 272x series
     o	 HighPoint's RocketRAID 274x series
     o	 HighPoint's RocketRAID 276x series
     o	 HighPoint's RocketRAID 278x series

NOTES

     The hpt27xx driver only works on the i386 and amd64 platforms as it requires a binary blob object from the manufacturer which they only sup-
     ply for these platforms.  The hpt27xx driver does not work on i386 with pae(4) enabled.

SEE ALSO

     kld(4), kldload(8), loader(8)

HISTORY

     The hpt27xx device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 10.0.

AUTHORS

     The hpt27xx device driver was written by HighPoint Technologies, Inc..  This manual page was written by Xin LI <delphij@FreeBSD.org> for
     iXsystems, Inc.
