THIS DOES NOT WORK! Agh... This was my local test script :-) s/echo/cp/ is needed as you may have guessed. $ seq 1 100 | sed "s/^\(.*\)$/file\1.jpg/" |xargs -n1 cp file.jpg This is one should do cp file.jpg file1.jpg cp file.jpg file2.jpg ... cp file.jpg file100.jpg Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
