I have file names

I want to remove the m04- at the beginning using awk

How can I do this?

2

Remove just in the listing, or are you asking to rename the files?

3

[LEFT]Just in the listing

At the moment I have done something like this

awk 'BEGIN{FS="-";OFS="-"} {$1=""; print $i;}'

However this still leaves a "-" in the beginning

Why not ...

[house@leonov] cat data
m04-npt06-z30-syn.ps
m04-npt06-dp018-8x6smp.vmod
m04-npt06-sr40-syn-dp01-16x12drw.params
[house@leonov] cat data | sed 's/m04-//g'
npt06-z30-syn.ps
npt06-dp018-8x6smp.vmod
npt06-sr40-syn-dp01-16x12drw.params

Ok, so how if I needed to change the file names?

Concept:

[house@leonov] cat code
#!/bin/bash

while read NAME
do
  echo "mv $NAME $( echo $NAME | sed 's/m04-//g' )"
done < data

exit 0
#finis
[house@leonov] bash code
mv m04-npt06-z30-syn.ps npt06-z30-syn.ps
mv m04-npt06-dp018-8x6smp.vmod npt06-dp018-8x6smp.vmod
mv m04-npt06-sr40-syn-dp01-16x12drw.params npt06-sr40-syn-dp01-16x12drw.params

I see, cheers
