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

Works for me if I invoke like this:

rnm "s/Blah Blah - \d{2} - //" "Blah Blah - 01 - Peter.txt" "Blah Blah + - 02 - Lois.txt"

Of course, that requires I supply the names of the files to be renamed because cmd.exe doesn't expand wildcards for you. If you want that to happen, you'll have to modify the script a little:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w $op = shift or die "Usage: rename expr [files]\n"; chomp( @ARGV ); @ARGV = map glob, @ARGV; for ( @ARGV ) { $was = $_; eval $op; die $@ if $@; rename ( $was, $_ ) unless $was eq $_; }

Then rnm "s/Blah Blah - \d{2} - //" *.txt works.


Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

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.
