Shell Programming and Scripting

Yes , I'm not checking whether the filename is coming after update or not and just placing date-part/file_name

See if this works for you:

Code:

sed 's#\(.*/\)\(.*_\)\(.*\).txt#\1\3/\2\3.txt#'  inp_file

Thanks for the help..I think I make a basic mistake with the path/filename because on each suggestion I tried I receive always the same error message:

/inputfile/data/xxx/yyy/update/name_20110127.txt,128,EPF,11 not found

so I implement the path:

Code:

$directory/input.txt sed -e 's|/[^/]*_\([0-9]*\).txt|/\1&|'

thanks for the answer..
the perl stuff seems to work (from the shell output) but the sourcefile input.txt is the same like before...there is no overwrite of the file

Below code will take backup of inputfile as inputfile.old before processing and then modify the inputfile

Code:

perl -p -i.old -nle 's/\/(\w+)(\d{8})/\/\2\/\1\2/' inputfile

thanks for you usefull help. It seems to work on the example I sent (I will do some tests and I hope its will work on each different line I have,- its not really clear for me what you are doing, especially in the second part of the line "\d{8})/\/\2\/\1\2/'")...
