#! /usr/bin/sh
counter=1

mv $i ${counter}_$i
counter=`expr counter + 1`
done
awk '{ printf "mv %s %d_%s\n", $0, NR, $0 }' filename | ksh
Hi
The usage of awk was wonderful

It does not work in my program because `find` command wrote the file names with their addresses to my file.
So my file include;
films.txt =
./1/2/amovie
./3/bmovie
./4/5/6/cmovie
./7/8/9/10/dmovie
./emovie
i have seen sed and awk command but i can not solve this problem
awk -F"/" -v OFS="/" ' { str=$0 ; $NF = NR "_" $NF ; print "mv " str " " $0 } ' file | ksh
it does not work so. i'm working in current directory and i wanna rename the file of any subdirectories.
i also tried to this code
mv `awk -F '/' '{print $NF;}' films.txt` x_`awk -F '/' '{print $NF;}' films.txt`
but it does not work too
i tried to write in this form but i cannot success
#
for i in `cat films.txt`
do
rename the files
done
#
films.txt =
./1/2/amovie
./3/bmovie
./4/5/6/cmovie
./7/8/9/10/dmovie
./emovie
#! /usr/bin/sh
counter=1
for i in `cat movies.txt
do
mv $i `dirname $i`/${counter}_`basename $i`
counter=`expr counter + 1`
done
Give a try with this if doesn't work..paste the log here 
Many thanks , it works well without using sed and awk.
but i have to learn this commands.
can anybody recommend me notes,websites or books to learn shell?
