Then I have a list of variable names inside variable.txt:
Code:
A
B
C
D
I'd like to rename 1.txt, 2.txt etc using the variables from variable.txt
Code:
A.txt (Contains info from 1.txt)
B.txt (Contains info from 2.txt)
C.txt (Contains info from 3.txt)
D.txt (Contains info from 4.txt)
I've tried using this, but it doesn't work
Code:
END=4
for ((i=1;i<=END;i++)); do for j in $(cat variable.txt); do mv "$i".txt "$j".txt; done; done
When doing this, I get a list of files
Code:
A.txt > (Contains info from 4.txt)
B.txt > (Contains info from 4.txt)
C.txt > (Contains info from 4.txt)
D.txt > (Contains info from 4.txt)
but want
A.txt (Contains info from 1.txt)
B.txt (Contains info from 2.txt)
C.txt (Contains info from 3.txt)
D.txt (Contains info from 4.txt)
Something is going wrong with the loop and can't work out why it's doing this. I'm trying to learn scripting/loops and any help would be appreciated. Many thanks
