1. How do I combine these two (JPG vs jpg): for f in /path/to/*.JPG; do mv "$f" `date +%N`.jpg; done for f in /path/to/*.jpg; do mv "$f" `date +%N`.jpg; done
I'm trying to avoid duplicate filenames during my renaming sessions. 2. What does the "2>/dev/null>&1" mean that I see in a lot of examples (eg ls 2>/dev/null/>&1). I really should take a shell scripting class. :) Thanks, Drew Cohan [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
