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.
