Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

What is the easiest way to list a directory with 1000s of filenames, grep it for a certain sequence of numbers, and if found to rename the file by the value you are grepping.

eg

The file I am examining will looks like this:

1234
1224343
2324
244
35665

If I am examining a list of files in a given directory and grepping them for values in the file, if the value in the respective row is found to rename that file by the value of the row?

Thanks in advance

If 1234 is the sequence number:-

Code:

find . -name "*" -type f -exec grep -l 1234 {} \; -exec mv {} 1234 \;

Note: please make sure you don't have the same sequence number in more than one file.
