Hello Brian, Wednesday, September 4, 2002, 3:59:19 PM, you textually orated:
BL> I am trying to rename a bunch of files with extension .inc to .php in one BL> fell-swoop. Is there a set of commands I can pipe to each other to do this BL> like: BL> ls *.inc | xargs .... BL> or do I need to do a for loop. BL> I read up a little on xargs and on using the ` operator for passing the BL> output to other programs but I am a little mixed up right now trying to BL> grasp xargs, sed, awk, and more. BL> Thanks in advance. man rename It is a simple utility (not necessarily the best one though) to do just as you wish. In your case... rename .inc .php *.inc Have fun, -- _________________________________________________________________ Brian Ashe CTO [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dee-Web Software Services, LLC. http://www.dee-web.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
