Hi,
I've been trying to use |xargs -J [] mv [] [].suffix
but to no avail.
I've tried |xargs -J mv \[\] \[\].suffix and variations but that
doesn't seem to work either. It seems to work fine with the -i
command under GNU xargs, but not under Freebsd.
An example would be
$ touch one two three
$ ls one two three | xargs -J [] mv [] [].suffix
I should now have one.suffix two.suffix three.suffix. At least,
that's what happens with GNU and the -i \{\}. (FreeBSD manpage says
to use -J [] without escapes though.)
Can anyone lend me a clue here please?
TIA.
