All right, first off I'm a total perl newbie (about 2 days now) and am looking for some resources on how to do a few things. Resources, meaning, don't tell me how to write the script just point me in the right direction of where to start. Also this may be an easy thing to do but remember I'm still learning.
So heres what I'm trying to do, I have a few folders with about 50-100 mp3s that I want to go threw and rename each file. Well going threw selecting them and then renaming gets rather boring so I'm wanting to write a perl script that will do this for me. Something like: you specify the folder name it opens that folder gets the first file prints how many files are left prints the file name asks for new name renames file gets next filename then repeats So what I figure, I'll use a 'for' loop, get the file name, store it in $ThisName, get the new file name from $NewName=<>, then $ThisName=$NewName, then rename the actual file. To me the logic seems like it would work, but as I said, I'm new to perl. Is this the right direction that I need to be going? And can someone point me as to where I can find info on getting filenames from folders then writing new names.
