Why ls? find -type f | grep ".txt$" | rev (Others already noted that you can probably get what you wanted from find directly.

Surely you can do that with sed, but as you already mentioned rev, you can use: rev | cut | rev So basically: find -type f | grep ".txt$" | rev | cut -d/ -f1 Maybe add an extra rev in the end to have proper names. > > How? > > I just want to modify the names of some files, but I can't do it if they > have their full path "in their names".. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
