Shell Programming and Scripting

I have two text files. I need to parse the data. It's names of file and I am using it to rename files. I have file1 containing the original file name and file2 containing the renamed name of the file. I need to parse them together in one file, which will be easy to use the mv command.

This is what I want it to do:

file1:

[a-s]_Test.txt


file2:

Test.txt

The end result should be...

file3:

[a-s]_Test.txt Test.txt

----------------------
I believe I need to do variable substitution or is there a better way to do it? Currently, I am using C shell.

Code:

paste file1 file2 > file3

Thanks aigles. Well, this is going beyond what I had asked before I am pretty new to Shell Scripting. _-" Now I have to figure how to redirect the input from the text file...

The following command renames the files :

Code:

paste file1 file2 | xargs -L 1 mv

Jean-Pierre.

Thanks I figured it out. ^^

Well, I have a different version of xargs. It didn't have the option L. However, it used n for arguments.

So, it turned it out to be.

Code:

paste file1 file2 | xargs -n 2 mv

Now I have to work to clean up my code and make the second part of the script. ^^ Thanks a lot. :P
