Re: Dumb little utilities
rename 's/\.c$/.x/' cumbersome?
Come on. s///? Backslash? $? Not one, but two single quotes?
One may as well type for i in *.c ; mv $i ${i/.c(#e)/.x} or
for i (*.c) { mv $i ${i%c}x }
I really would rather type ren *.c *.x. But then, I don't think in
perl.

I had no idea all of these existed (I have heard of zsh). Is there anyway
of finding these things out? Apropos won't work if you don't have them
installed?

Anyway, it's similar to the 'rename' command that someone else mentioned.
It renames multiple files like converting all the files in a directory
from upper to lower case
mmv \* \#l1
zmv '(*)' '${(L)1}'
or changing the extension of the *.c files to *.x.
mmv \*.c \#1.x
zmv '(*).c' '$1.x'
or
zmv -W '*.c' '*.x'
or
alias ren='noglob zmv -W'
ren *.c *.x
I find the last preferable to the more cumbersome syntaxes of rename and
mmv.
