Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Want to do this: cp *1.dbf *2.dbf Post 302763273 by zazzybob on Tuesday 29th of January 2013 07:55:39 PM

Must you use csh? This is easy with bash, for example:

Code:
# for file in *1.dbf; do cp ${file} `echo "${file}" | sed 's/1\.dbf/2\.dbf/'`; done

I don't use csh (or at least haven't for a long time) but a similar for loop using csh syntax will do the job.

Cheers,
