Hi all:
I have been having a problem with my script file that renames my digital camera files, I prepend
the date and time to every file and this works with 98% of them, but for some unknown reason an
occasional file will fail to be automatically renamed. (I never had this problem with the CP-995.)
My latest version follows: (in part)
PreNameA=$(grep -a -A1 Ver.1.00 $FileName | cut -b 160-172 ) > /dev/null
PreNameB=$(grep -a -A1 Ver.1.00 $FileName | cut -b 174-183 ) > /dev/null
PreName="$PreNameA@$PreNameB"
NewName=$PreName-$FileName
cp -p $FileName $NewName
mv 20*.nef ./renamed
A line from a typical image file: (these are all Nikon *.nif files)
<
...t.2...........J.......................i.........à.%.........H...........Ì..........................NIKON
CORPORATION...NIKON D90......,.......,....Ver.1.00 ...2010:04:14 12:21:28...û\..ûÔ...........ÿ.......
>
Immediately following the "Ver.1.00" is "2010:04:14 12:21:28" the date and time information in
the order that I wish to use, year, month and day, this causes all files to be sorted (by name) in
the order that they were exposed.
My problem is that I want to use "so many characters" after the "Ver.1.00" not "so many characters
after the beginning of the greped line," (which sometimes is different) but cut works based on "so
many character after the start of the line."
How can I select N characters after the "Ver.1.00" in a greped line?
Thank you in advance.
