Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2005 05:35:31 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BAY20-F140F63F0ED660FA7ADE2259B9F0@phx.gbl> (raw)

Hello everybody

I want to rename files with the new names from a text file, names.txt:

Brazilian coffee
Canadian maple
Korean car



i want to use the following script

for i in *.doc
do

    for file in `cat names.txt`
   do
    mv  $i   $file....



I want to renmae all files (in *.doc) with the new names read from names.txt 
file.

The problem is the names in the file names.txt have spaces...


Any idea?

Thanks

Vick
