rename multiple files and use dd 1

[ksbrace]

Hello,
I'm working on automating some database refreshes(clones) and I have to move some files using dd.

This is what I have so far:
for i in `find /orabak/oraclebkups/prod92/ -name "*.dbf" -print`; do
dd if=$i of=/oradata/devl92/$i bs=262144
done

But, I want to just get the file name from the find command and I want to be able to rename the file. For instance, when I run the above find command by itself, this is what I get( I truncated the results):
/orabak/oraclebkups/prod92/system01.dbf
/orabak/oraclebkups/prod92/development_PROD_01.dbf

Now, I want to just grab the filename. I also want to make the PROD become DEVL in any of the filenames that has the word PROD in it.

any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Something like this ?
for i in `find /orabak/oraclebkups/prod92/ -name "*.dbf" -print`; do
j=`echo $i | sed 's!.*/!!;s!PROD!DEVL!'`
dd if=$i of=/oradata/devl92/$j bs=262144
done

Hope This Helps, PH.

PHV,
Ok, great! Now, if time permits, do you mind breaking down the second line for me and explaining what is going on there? Thanks again!

I simply used sed to remove the directory path and replace PROD by DEVL

Note that the basename command could have been useful here too.

[tt]# basename /blah/blah/yak
yak
#[/tt]


Annihilannic.

I agree with Annihilannic (again).

basename is the preferred way to remove the path.

You can replace basename with inbuilt ksh parameter substitution for better performance

$ fullpath="/blah/blah/yak"
$ echo ${fullpath##*/}
yak
