Hello little,

Nice to see you again in forum. Could you please try following and let me know if this helps, I have made a similar directory structure in my /tmp and tried following command, you...

If you don't mind having a trailing backslash printed with your directory names, the trivial way to do it is:
printf '%s\n' /a/b/c/home??/*/
If you do mind the trailing backslash, you can use a for...

Hiya

Try:
for f in abc*
do mv "$f" "${f/abc/bck.abc}"
done
Or even simpler:
for f in abc*
do mv "$f" "bck.$f
done

If you really want the shell to compute variable names:
eval result_$count=`$exe_command`

So, you are trying to set a variable variable name then. Have you considered using an array?
#!/bin/ksh93
set -A result

count=0
while :
do
while read exe_command
do
...

Have you tried it?

Try this and adapt to your needs:stamp_pos=filename.extn_DT
[ "${stamp_pos#*_DT}" ]; EC=$?; read DT$EC DT$((1-EC)) <<< "_2013/11/16 "
while IFS=. read FN EXT; do echo $FN$DT0.$EXT$DT1; done <file

At some point a toggle must be switched for prefix or suffix.

Let's use a command line argument:
e.i stamp_it 0

for f in *.txt; do
case ${1} in
0)
echo $(date "+%F").${f} ;;
...

It's perfect! I had added REST_OF_LINE to my post after submitting it. That'll pick up everything after the last cron time field.

Another way using pure Bash magic:


out="files successfully moved"
dash="-"
echo -e "${out}\n${out//?/$dash}"
files successfully moved
-----------------------

try also:
echo "files successfully moved"| awk '1; {gsub(".","-")}1'

This is way to do it using awk:
awk -v i=10 'BEGIN { OFS="-"; $i="-"; print }'
i=10 specifies the amount of characters, you can change it to i=$no

i=1
while [ $i -le $no ]
do
echo -n "-"
(( i++ ))
done
echo


or
echo "files successfully moved" | sed 's/./-/g'

Hello,

Let me share an example with you hope this will help you more.

You've gone overkill on the backquotes.

The $(...) method of command substitution is easier on the eyes, and replaces the 'obsolete' `...` method.

Pleas read my reply to your thread.. since you are piping the out put to while it will open a subshell and variable value would be lost once its back to main shell

If $1 is empty, then ${1:-s1.txt} expands to "s1.txt". It's like telling, if $1 is empty use the default value "s1.txt" instead.

$FILENAME is nothing but "s1.txt". So, both the approaches mean the...
