Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi karthik,
You mean that after 34 posts have been entered into this thread, you're now finally going to tell us what output filenames you want your script to create. We would all have saved ourselves a lot o agony if you had told us the names of the files you wanted to create in post #1 in this thread!

One could, of course, change:

Code:

for f in sampletest_*
  do    TMP="${f/sampletest_/Extrfile}"
         mv "$f" "${TMP%.*}"
echo "$f"
 done

to:

Code:

for f in sampletest_*
do	TMP=${f/sampletest_/Extrfile}
	TMP=${TMP/.xml./_}.xml
	echo mv "$f" "$TMP"
done

and remove the echo if the names match what you're expecting. And, you can modify that to strip off the leading zeros we created for you if you want to, but I'm not going to show you how to do that since I think it would be a mistake that you would later regret (as explained in a couple of earlier posts in this thread). But you'd be much better off changing:

Code:

        if(!length(OUT)) FBASE=FILENAME "."
                else FBASE = OUT "."

        ... ... ...

        FILE=sprintf("%s%04d", FBASE,++FILENUM);

in File_split.awk to just set FILE to the name of the output file you really want to create to begin with instead of creating a bunch of files with the wrong names and adding another loop of code to fix what you did incorrectly the first time.
