UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

I am new to bash. One needs to copy files with intervals, I use

Code:

#!/bin/bash
for i in `seq 0 2 30`;do
	cp /Volumes/data${i}_b0.dat   /Users/Results2/
done

Now I am wondering to shift the name by whatever number up. I mean I need to copy files:

data0_b0.dat
data2_b0.dat
data4_b0.dat
.
.
.
data30_b0.dat

in another directory with the names

data32_b0.dat
data34_b0.dat
.
.
.
data64_b0.dat


Thanks in advance for your time.

Found it. I just write it here, it might be helpful for others.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
for i in `seq 0 2 30`;do
        let j=$i+2
	cp /Volumes/data${i}_b0.dat   /Users/Results2/data${j}_b0.dat
done
