Hello,
qmv.exe (from renameutils) lets you edit multiple filenames in a text
editor.
I cannot get it to work in cygwin 1.7x (gives fork + jump error ??). So I
tried to write it in Perl.
qmv's format is simple
filename-1 <empty space> filename_1_to_be_edited
filename 2 <empty space> filename_2_to_be_edited
filename_3 <empty space> filename_3_to_be_edited
You edit the names and then it renames the files you have changed. Problem I
am having is how can I split the two file names by space
since file name itself might also have spaces in them.
I tried something like this
( $OldFileName, $NewFileName ) = split /\s{5,}/;
It works but not always.
I also thought to use and alternate anchor like pipe or comma but it looks
ugly.
Beside qmv.exe uses space to separate file names Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks.
