Need Help??

These things i tend to do with quick one-liners. Say you want to prepend the number to all .txt files:

perl -e 'while(<*.txt>){$n=sprintf("%02d%s",++$i,$_);rename$_,$n}'

In case there is no specified file extension like `.txt`, something like this can be done: `perl -e 'for (grep {-f} <*>) { rename $_, sprintf("%02d%s", ++$i, $_) }'` Zenon Zabinski \| zdog \| zdog@perlmonk.org	[reply] [d/l] [select]
