- HELP!
-
- I have a bit of a problem which I can't solve as I don't know enough about
- using all of the thingamies (sed, awk etc) unix provides. Here's the problem:
-
- I have a set of directories similar to the following:
-
- rw-r--r-- 0/0 1874 Mar 23 03:05 1991 logos/org/aero/unknown/face.xbm
- rw-r--r-- 0/0 1871 Jun 18 04:01 1991 logos/org/eff/unknown/face.xbm
- rw-r--r-- 0/0 1874 Jun 3 09:47 1991 logos/org/ieee/unknown/face.xbm
- rw-r--r-- 0/0 1877 Jun 3 09:48 1991 logos/org/mitre/unknown/face.xbm
- rw-r--r-- 0/0 1871 Feb 14 01:35 1991 logos/org/osf/unknown/face.xbm
-
- .... about a thousand more lines ....
-
- Now, what I want to do it move all of the "face.xbm" files to one directory
- level while simultaneously giving them distinct filenames (I don't care
- what, although it would be nice if logos/org/osf/unknown/face.xbm became
- something like logos.org.osf.unknown.face.xbm).
-
- If anyone can help I will be extremely grateful!
-
- Please reply via e-mail as I don't read news that often.
