Quick one-liner

[BIS]

Hallo,

Suppose I have a file named jkl678%Km93 which looks like this:

Subject: XX-Date
Some text
Some randon numbers
more text

how can I easily rename this file from 'jkl678%Km93' to 'XX-Date' (the text after the Subject: line)

for file in *
do
  mv $file $(awk '/Subject/ {print $2}' $file)
done

It's a bit short of error checking etc...

On the internet no one knows you're a dog
