Alter existing script to work with longer file name
I have this script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
for file in "$@"
do
ext=${file##*.}
base=${file%.*}
num=${base##*v}
zeroes=${num%%[!0]*}
num=${num#$zeroes} #remove leading zeros, or it uses octal
num=$((num+1))
base=${base%v*}
new=$(printf '%sv%04d.%s' "$base" "$num" "$ext")
cp -nv "$file" "$new"
done
It works great with file names that are xxx_xxx_v001.aep, but it won't work on this: xxx_xxx_v001_001.aep.
I've tried and tried but just can't figure out why it won't work.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
