On the line
if ($TEMP1 =~ /(A-[0-9]+-[0-9]+)/) {
You want to take the output of the pattern match. $TEMP1
isn't being altered at all, it's just being matched against.
The result of the pattern match is left in $1. Try this:
$DIR=".";
opendir CONCEPT, $DIR || die "no such dir";
while ($TEMP = readdir(CONCEPT))
{
if ($TEMP =~ /(A-[0-9]+-[0-9]+)/) {
if (rename $TEMP, $1)
{ print $1; }
}
}
The code was editted as little as possible. Any stricting,
-w'ing, and error checking is left as an excercise to the
reader.
