Morning Sluggers I am having trouble with something simple which I am sure is easy. I just want to rename all the files in a directory from say their existing name to p-existingname. e.g. mv p1.fmt pp1.fmt but for all the files in a directory.
mv wont do it so I thought use find with -exec. However, {} in -exec gives a full path name whichis fine for say adding .old to the end of the file names but not manipulating the beginning. I am sure my brain has just switched off but I couldn't solve it. Any suggestions gratefully received. regards Steven -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
