According to Nikolaos A. Patsopoulos on 9/14/2006 6:23 AM:
I used the following script but doesn't work under cygwin:
for file in folder*/*; do
dir=$(basename $(dirname $file) )
base=$(basename $file)
mv $file $(dirname $file)/${dir}_${base}
done
What is the actual error message you are seeing? But I bet the problem is
due to your missing quoting, so your problem is not cygwin-specific. I
would guess that you are having issues due to spaces or other shell
metacharacters in the filenames being interpreted literally.
Does anyone has a suggestion or where I should look?
A good tutorial on shell programming? Hint:
for file in folder*/*; do
dir=$(basename "$(dirname "$file")")
base=$(basename "$file")
mv "$file" "$(dirname "$file")/${dir}_${base}"
done
(That won't work on filenames with \n as the last character, but
fortunately, unless you use cygwin managed mounts, that is not an issue on
cygwin).

I get the same error with my code and yours:
Script started, file is typescript
nothing happens, except an empty file called typescript in the parent
directory
