oombera:
i couldn't get that to work. i played with it for a while with different results. i'm not sure of the use of:
mv $i `dirname $i`'/xyz'
i did this:
................
for i in `find . -name */*/*DUAL*`; do
mv $i `*/*/*DUAL* $i`'/fse'
done
................
i got error:
find bad option 1005/15sep01.images/20010915_AXIAL_DUAL_11134
find path-list predicate-list
so, i'm sure it's something i've done wrong. maybe i should clarify my task.
say i have dir "02"...
02 has dirs "1004" and "1005"
1004 has dirs "a" and "b" in it
a has dirs "123abc" and "456def"
b has dirs "124abc" and "457def"
1005 has dirs "c" and "d" in it
c has dirs "125abc" and "458def"
d has dirs "126abc" and "459def"
from the 02 directory i would like to rename all subdirs with dirnames containing the pattern *abc* to "xyz"; and all subdirs with dirnames containing the pattern *def* to "uvw"
in the end i wish to have:
02/1004/a/:
xyz uvw
02/1004/b/:
xyz uvw
02/1005/c/:
xyz uvw
02/1005/d/:
xyz uvw
_________
obviously from my error above i am using *DUAL* instead of *abc* and using fse instead of xyz. i should have explained this more completely from the beginning. me bad.
criglerj: i just saw your post after i posted this. i will try your ideas and post back. thanks

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN
dh_fixperms
DH_FIXPERMS(1) Debhelper DH_FIXPERMS(1)
NAME
dh_fixperms - fix permissions of files in package build directories
SYNOPSIS
dh_fixperms [debhelperoptions] [-Xitem]
DESCRIPTION
dh_fixperms is a debhelper program that is responsible for setting the permissions of files and directories in package build directories to
a sane state -- a state that complies with Debian policy.
dh_fixperms makes all files in usr/share/doc in the package build directory (excluding files in the examples/ directory) be mode 644. It
also changes the permissions of all man pages to mode 644. It makes all files be owned by root, and it removes group and other write
permission from all files. It removes execute permissions from any libraries, headers, Perl modules, or desktop files that have it set. It
makes all files in the standard bin and sbin directories, usr/games/ and etc/init.d executable (since v4). Finally, it removes the setuid
and setgid bits from all files in the package.
OPTIONS
-Xitem, --exclude item
Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from having their permissions changed. You may use this option multiple
times to build up a list of things to exclude.
SEE ALSO
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
