| 05:35 | < Yossarian> | mv isn't a very good batch renaming tool if your console-fu is weak, is it? |
| 05:36 | < Mahal> | git gud |
| 05:36 | <&McMartin> | git: 'gud' is not a git command. See 'git --help'. |
| 05:37 | <&McMartin> | The most similar command is: add |
| 05:38 | < Yossarian> | Screenshots from W10. They start off "Screenshot (1).png" and I took screenshots almost into 4 digits. So it goes Screenshot (100).png, Screenshot (1000).png. |
| 05:39 | <&McMartin> | Interesting. Explorer usually sorts numbers, er, numerically, which can produce exciting effects when they weren't supposed to represent quantities. |

| 06:08 | < Yossarian> | literally scratching my head, doesn't bash have word designators or something? |

| 06:10 | <&McMartin> | Kiiiinda, but you have to messa round with backreferences and stuff? |
| 06:11 | <&McMartin> | Like, "change every .txt file to .blah instead" is really hard to do with a single command and you're way better off with a for loop |
| 06:14 | < Yossarian> | ls | sed | xargs -n2 mv maybe |
| 06:18 | < Yossarian> | need more coffee |
| 06:18 | <&McMartin> | Nah, for is easier than that |

| 09:58 | < Yossarian> | Alek: I could use `rename` or `perl rename` I guess. |
| 09:59 | < Yossarian> | It's not a mission critical task, it's me using crappy Reddit to talk to other weebs about a particular on-going season and some mystery. Some screenshots of either important plot points or terrible continutity errors. |

| 12:20 | <&[R]> | ^ more complete example |
| 12:21 | <&ToxicFrog> | McMartin: re "change every .txt file to .blah": this is what rename(1) is for: rename .txt .blah *.txt |

| 12:23 | <&[R]> | ToxicFrog: I don't actually have a directory with files named like that |
| 12:23 | <&[R]> | That was a demo |
| 12:23 | <&ToxicFrog> | I would probably do it as: |
| 12:23 | <&ToxicFrog> | for n in {1..999}; do mv "Screenshot ($n).png" "Screenshot ($(printf '%04d' $n)).png"; done |
| 12:24 | <&[R]> | A proper solution would remove the first name= assignment and do `for name in Screenshot*` |

| 16:19 | <&[R]> | So I'm working on a build script that compiles something |
| 16:19 | <&[R]> | Before I call make, config.h has: |
| 16:19 | <&[R]> | #define REQUIRE_SSH_AGENT |
| 16:19 | <&[R]> | #undef REQUIRE_SSH_AGENT |
| 16:19 | <&[R]> | Yet in a file with a `#ifdef REQUIRE_SSH_AGENT` check, that check gets compiled in |
| 16:20 | <&[R]> | Did I not #undef correctly? |
| 16:20 | <&[R]> | (Note: the build process unpacks a fresh tarball, and I'm appending the #undef line) |
| 16:24 | < Yossarian> | sorry, I was tuned into something else |

| 16:27 | <&[R]> | That'll over-write things if you write more screenshots |
| 16:27 | < Yossarian> | wouldn't a `for f in *.png` work, too? |
| 16:27 | <&[R]> | Actually, I guess my solution will too |
| 16:27 | <&[R]> | Hmm |
| 16:27 | < Yossarian> | I just bought a math book when apparently I should have bought a shell script book |
| 16:27 | < Yossarian> | lol |
| 16:30 | < Yossarian> | I ended up doing manual work instead because something came up and wasn't paying attention; need a better visual alert |
