Im unable to do this as i need to use the script -
alambert/scripts/uid2mov.pl with the 6 digit number in order to resolve
the location of the .mov file

So essentially first i need to run uid2mov.pl <number> to get the
/vol/shotsub/Movies/kong/Asse.... etc and i then need to attach that
same number and posisbly its description from the original list

Yup, i realise this, i have a perl script already to do this

my intention with this post is to see if awk or something else could do
it - single lined command line - okay a long line at that

Cheers, I will take a look and see if it does what i need

I cant say im too fussed about the information contained.. as its
nothing universal will jump up and down about

Plus - after we are done here who knows where i will be!

You need to use your brains.

Try something like this:

while read item num
do
file=`uid2mov.pl $num`
mv $file /vol/tempwrangler/andrew/hannah1/$file-$num
done <list

I suggest you try "man bash" and read very carefully.
Also, look in /usr/share/doc/bash-N.NN/scripts etc where you will
find lots of examples.

Im unsure if you have actually read what i asked.. and also mentioned in
other posts, but im looking for a one line solution. i already have a
working perl script that does exactly what i want to do.. In fact i dont
need to do this particular job anymore as its done

Im just curious about awk and a single command line solution, or maybe
not even awk, There could be some other smart linux command that can
help me achieve what im after

Because, unlike morons like Shane and Brendan, I don't think nz.comp
is the appropriate place for flame wars.

And Brendan's post is just too pathetic to even bother wasting my time
on.

Hi, Stalker. That was a comment, not a flamewar.

Buy a dictionary, turniphead.
