Renaming files in SunOS
Hi,

I have 200+ files in Solaris 10 that I'm trying to rename. I have a few methods that worked in AIX but not working in Solaris.

Can some help me rename file like the below with a script please?

example filename: 0310.Date.00.aa.gz

Need to insert '133': 0310.Date.00.aa.133.gz

Thanks.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
a='0310.Date.00.aa.gz'

echo "mv ${a} ${a%.gz}.133.gz"

Code:
for file in *.pp.gz 
do echo "mv ${file} ${file%.*}.133.gz"
 done
