Hello, qmv.exe (from renameutils) lets you edit multiple filenames in a text editor. I cannot get it to work in cygwin 1.7x (gives fork + jump error ??). So I tried to write it in Perl.
qmv's format is simple filename-1 <empty space> filename_1_to_be_edited filename 2 <empty space> filename_2_to_be_edited filename_3 <empty space> filename_3_to_be_edited You edit the names and then it renames the files you have changed. Problem I am having is how can I split the two file names by space since file name itself might also have spaces in them. I tried something like this ( $OldFileName, $NewFileName ) = split /\s{5,}/; It works but not always. I also thought to use and alternate anchor like pipe or comma but it looks ugly. Beside qmv.exe uses space to separate file names Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
