Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Replace string and create new file multiple times Post 302974096 by pseudo.seppuku on Wednesday 25th of May 2016 02:19:55 PM

Sorry, the first comment (regarding prefixes) was referring to RudiC's script.

I only just started fiddling with Linux recently so that's good to know.

However, what I meant about your script was that it only creates a single new file (file001 with string 001 -> file002 with string 002). I need this done a few hundred times, until file300 with string 300.

NAME
tomoyo-patternize - utility to convert pathnames in policy into patterns SYNOPSIS
tomoyo-patternize tomoyo-patternize [configfile] DESCRIPTION
This program reads domain policy from standard input and replaces pathnames with patterns. Replacement rules are defined in /etc/tomoyo/tools/patternize.conf. The resulting policy is sent to standard output and is useful to shorten and simplify domain or exception policy. Pathnames used for domain names themselves will not be replaced. Only the first matching rule is used for any particular pathname. If a pathname does not match any rules, it is left unchanged. EXAMPLES
Replace "proc:/self/fd/0" with "proc:/self/fd/$" rewrite path_pattern proc:/self/fd/$ Replace "proc:/123/status" with "proc/$/status" rewrite head_pattern proc:/$ Replace "dev(8,1):/etc/mtab~456" with "dev(8,1):/etc/mtab~$" rewrite tail_pattern /etc/mtab~$ Replace "/tmp/phpZjk1k3" with @GROUP1 rewrite path_pattern /tmp/php?????? @GROUP1 Replace integers between 0-100 or 100-200 with @GROUP2 rewrite number_pattern 0-100 @GROUP2 rewrite number_pattern 100-200 @GROUP2 Replace loopback addresses with @LOCALHOST rewrite address_pattern 127.0.0.1 @LOCALHOST rewrite address_pattern 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 @LOCALHOST See the configuration file for more information on rule syntax.
