Monsler" X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.76 [en] (WinNT; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: James Bergstrom CC: cygwin@sources.redhat.com Subject: Re: CYGWIN file structure References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Your request is so broad as to be hardly answerable. For example, 'ls' is a utility distributed with cygwin that is often used for examining filenames in a directory. How about something like: for IMG_FILE in $(ls image*.tif); do NEWFILE=$(echo $IMG_FILE | sed s/image/proc_image/ ) process_image_binary -i $IMG_FILE -o $NEW_FILE rm $IMG_FILE done as a solution? (Note that the above has typos or other bugs with probability approaching 1. These have been left in as an exercise for the student.) I do recall some messages about accessing directory contents from C code. IIRC, the list of POSIX calls available under cygwin, available from the cygwin website, included the apropriate item. I'm a little busy, myself, to search the archives right now... Eric Monsler -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Check out: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
