Hi all, After processing files in my perl script, I need to move them to the final destination. My problem is if the file already exists (lets call it data.txt), I need to rename it to data-v01.txt (where -v01 is version 01).
So... if there are four other esisting versions, data-v03.txt should become data-v04.txt, then data-v02.txt should become data-v03.txt, then data-v01.txt should become data-v02.txt, data.txt should become data-v01.txt, finally data.txt can be written. I have to keep all versions of the existing files and oldest must have the highest -v## (version number) and newest is just data.txt. I will end up with 20 or more versions of each file. Is this a job better done in bash or perl? Either way, any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
