I'd like to have a script to rename groups of files by including the directory name in the revised filename. Ex: in directory "A", I have files 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. I would like to rename the files to A_1, A_2, A_3, A_4 and A_5. To do this, I have so far used the "mmv" command but I still have to type in the directory name for each batch. Is there a way to capture the directory name and place it in a variable? I have looked at "pwd" but that gives me the whole path. I don't mind using command line but I am not a programmer. Any suggestion is welcome. Normand -- OCLUG general discussion list [email protected] http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/oclug
