Harsimran, I had a similar problem when I had a lot of .png files, each of which I had to convert to .png. I wrote a simple tcsh/csh script - This uses the same magic of cut :-) just gets to a delimiter `.', and takes in the first field. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #!/bin/csh -f foreach x (`/bin/ls *.png`) echo converting $x to `/bin/ls $x | /bin/cut -d\. -f1`.jpg /usr/bin/convert $x `/bin/ls $x | /bin/cut -d\. -f1`.jpg end ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hope this helps, Cheers, Sumantra. -- ********************************************************************* SUMANTRA DUTTA ROY Ph Office: +91 - 11 - 26591084 Department of Electrical Engineering Ph Resid.: +91 - 11 - 26597084 Indian Institute of Technology Delhi Ph MM Lab: +91 - 11 - 26596167 Hauz Khas, New Delhi - 110016, INDIA Facsimile: +91 - 11 - 26581606 http://www.cse.iitd.ac.in/~sumantra/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: II-245, Res: 38 North Avenue email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _____________________________________________________________________ UDYOGINAM PURUSHASIMHAM UPAITI LAKSHMEEH DAIVEN DEYAM ITI KAAPURUSHAAH VADANTI DAIVAM NIHATYA KURU PAURUSHAM AATMASHAKTYAA YATNE KRITE YADI NA SIDHYATI KO ATRA DOSHAH (Favourite Sanskrit Shloka) ********************************************************************* --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- group http://groups.google.com/group/iitdlug -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
