What does it do with a file named

include.inc

z=`echo $i | sed -e s/inc$/htm/g`

is better, no?
Yep, and some other kind folks pointed this out.

Thanks,

How do I change the extensions on a slew of files

2003-09-03 Thread Jonas 

Hello Know-It-Alls,

If I have a directory with a whole slew of files with the same file
extension, for example:

1-1-1.inc
1-1-2.inc
1-1-3.inc
etc.

What command can I use to change the file extension - but keep the file
name the same - in one swell swoop? The equivalent command in Windows
would be:

C:\ren *.inc *.htm

The shortest answer is probably:

portinstall mmv; mmv *.inc =1.htm

Another option might be:

 while read file ; do
 mv $file.inc $file.htm
 done press Enter

Cool.  That was off the top of my head using standard system tools.

Enjoy.  Welcome to FreeBSD and Unix and Unix-Like OS'.

Thanks.
My pleasure.

Re: How do I change the extensions on a slew of files

2003-09-03 Thread Mike Hogsett 

 from an sh type shell
 for i in *.inc
 do
 z=`echo $i | sed -e s/inc/htm/g`
 mv ${i} ${z}
 done

This won't give expected results for a file named fooinc.inc.  It will
become foohtm.htm.  I realize that based on the file names given in the
original email this doesn't appear to be an issue, but changing the sed
command to

  sed -e 's/\.inc$/\.html/'

may give better (more generally useful) results.  Also note the ' instead
of  so that the shell doesn't perform variable expansion within the sed
command text. The shell will ignore the $ and instead sed uses it to match
end of line or string in this case.

thanks, Mike.  What you bring up, is of course, valid.
