Hi, > I have some hundreds of files with a filename starting with a specific > prefix (lets say 'abc') and I want to rename them and get rid of this > prefix. How do I do that? In sh: for i in abc-*; do mv "$i" "`echo $i | sed s/abc-//`"; done In tcsh: foreach i (abc-*) mv "$i" "`echo $i | sed s/abc-//`" end Question from me: how can I put this foreach loop on one line in an interactive tcsh? --Stijn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
