I've used this script to rename directories on a Win98 machine. (Apologies
in advance for not scoping my variables.) Is there a line of code or
switch or something I can add that would make it *also* operate on every
file within each directory it's processing? Thanks.
## find [text string] and delete it from all file and directory names in a
directory
chdir "c:/[directoryname]" or die "cannot chdir to that directory: $!";
foreach $file (glob "*") {
$newfile = $file;
$newfile =~ s/%2f/_/;
if (-e $newfile) {
## warn "can't rename $file to $newfile: $newfile exists\n";
} elsif (rename $file, $newfile) {
## success, do nothing
} else {
warn "rename $file to $newfile failed: $!\n";
}
}
