-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Nikolaos A. Patsopoulos on 9/14/2006 6:23 AM: > > I used the following script but doesn't work under cygwin: > > for file in folder*/*; do > dir=$(basename $(dirname $file) ) > base=$(basename $file) > mv $file $(dirname $file)/${dir}_${base} > done What is the actual error message you are seeing? But I bet the problem is due to your missing quoting, so your problem is not cygwin-specific. I would guess that you are having issues due to spaces or other shell metacharacters in the filenames being interpreted literally. > > Does anyone has a suggestion or where I should look? A good tutorial on shell programming? Hint: for file in folder*/*; do dir=$(basename "$(dirname "$file")") base=$(basename "$file") mv "$file" "$(dirname "$file")/${dir}_${base}" done (That won't work on filenames with \n as the last character, but fortunately, unless you use cygwin managed mounts, that is not an issue on cygwin). - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
