Re^4: RE question; how to insert a digit between const[a-z]*3 && inc[0-9]*3? (sprintf)

Greetings, and thank you for your thoughtful replies.
Actually "abc" is a constant -- all the files in question are prefaced with those same 3 characters.
So in an effort to be more concise;
I need all the files prefaced by abc, to be followed by 4 digits.
The files abc1000.html through abc9000.html, are already there.
Which leaves abc1.html through abc999.html.
I was able to rename all the files by cobbling up a script with the help of
find(1),basename(1),cp(1), and rm(1) via for loop. But those won't help me with
the references to those files within all the files themselves. :(
So, in summary; how on earth can I append a 0 to abc
on all the references to abc100.html - abc999.html? Appending 2, or three
digits to the other references, will have the same solution. So I chose to use
the "hundreds" list for a starting point.

Thanks again for your thoughtful responses.

By reading and trying the solutions already provided in any of the thoughtful replies? If you are unable to adjust any of them to the fact that "abc" was in fact a constant (not that all of them needed adjustment), then perhaps step one is to hire somebody with programming abilities? - tye	[reply]

Greetings, My reply was in response to I doubt "abc" was as literal as you interpreted it to be. ... As, in fact it was. I am just now reviewing/experimenting with all of those "thoughtful responses" you referenced By reading and trying the solutions already provided in any of the thoughtful replies? :) #!/usr/bin/perl -Tw use perl::always; my $perl_version = "5.12.4"; print $perl_version;	[reply]
