Re: [Plug] quick solution please

Or, either of these should do the trick:

http://www.voicenet.com/~mortis/projects/misc/foreach.tar.gz

The C code is older than my grandmother, and I have no idea if it's
as good as the perl code (though they were supposed to be implementations
lf the same thing).


$ ls *.txt | perl foreach.pl "mv $pre.txt $pre.new"

but do this first:

$ ls *.txt | perl foreach.pl "echo mv $pre.txt $pre.new"

to make sure what you're trying to do is sane... :)
