I have about 100 directories all in the same parent directory that adhere to the naming convention [sitename].com. I want to rename them all [sitename].subdomain.com.
Here's what I tried:
for FILE in `ls | sed 's/.com//' | xargs`;mv $FILE.com $FILE.subdomain.com;
But it fails miserably. Any ideas?
Use rename(1).
rename .com .subdomain.com *.com
And if you have a perl rename instead of the normal one, this works:
rename s/\\.com$/.subdomain.com/ *.com
.com..
Using bash:
for i in *
do
mv $i ${i%%.com}.subdomain.com
done
The ${i%%.com} construct returns the value of i without the '.com' suffix.
What about:
ls |
grep -Fv '.subdomain.com' |
while read FILE; do
f=`basename "$FILE" .com`
mv $f.com $f.subdomain.com
done

mv "${site}" "${site%.com}.subdomain.com"
done
Try this:
for FILE in `ls -d *.com`; do
FNAME=`echo $FILE | sed 's/\.com//'`;
`mv $FILE $FNAME.subdomain.com`;
done
ls and executing mv in an unnecessary subshell.
