dear all

i have about 5142 file begin with (package jordba."packagename")

i want to remove the package .jordba without touch the package name
i need to stay the package name only

can any body help me
thanx

say you have files like below...
jordba.package1
jordba.package2
jordba.package3

use the below:
for f in jordba.*; do mv "$f" "${f#jordba.}"; done

the above for loop will make your list like...

package1
package2
package3

hope this answers!

thank you it work

but there is another issue similar to the before that i have the files

x1_p.sql
x2_p.sql
x3_p.sql

and so on

i need to add h before .sql to be as the following:

x1_ph.sql
x2_ph.sql
x3_ph.sql

4

This should work for the data given by you above...

for f in *_p.sql ; do mv "$f" "${f%_p.sql}_ph.sql"; done

-i option is part of GNU sed
not available with versions of SED in Solaris

you won't be able to do inplace replacements

may be you should try

sed 's/search/pattern/g' filename > out.filename
mv out.filename filename

#!/bin/sh
find /users/home/yhlee/ -type f -name "*_p.sql" | while read line
do
        newfile=`echo "$line" | sed 's/_p/_ph/g'`
        mv "$line" "$newfile"
done
