Hi All,
I've been playing with Mike's oneliner:
/bin/ls -C1 | sed "s/\(.*\) - \(.*\).mp3/mv \"&\" \"\2 - \1.mp3\"/"|sh
(see Swapping two parts of a filename)
I have one problem - it chokes on any filename containing a double
quote. Since most of these mp3's are 12" versions, that's quite common!
Can I deal with this case as well? Remembering that there are filenames
with single quotes in them too!
Cheers
Dylan
