( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

It sounds like you're not even sure how to approach the problem. Here's some pseudocode that may be helpful:

for each line in file: extract (old_name, new_name) from line new_name_of{old_name} = new_name for each file in directory: new_name = new_name_of{file} rename file, new_name

As toolic mentioned, you haven't provided us quite enough information to be completely helpful. In other words, this pseudocode may not be exactly what you need, so caveat emptor.

Additionally, do you need to do this for one directory, or a whole bunch of them? If you need more than one, you'll have to build an additional looping structure. Even for one, you should probably make a function to do the work for you. Then you can call the function in a loop, if you need to.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
