Re^2: renaming filenames

It doesn't work. It only works if the values of $from and $to don't
contain any accents, as in: $from=song and $to=poem but it doesn't work
if they contain accents.

The editor I'm using is vim, so I'm saving my files in utf-8
encoding.

The sample script shown worked as expected for me using Windows 7 and Perl 5.10.1 (ActiveState MSWin32-x86-multi-thread build). In what way doesn't it work for you? True laziness is hard work	[reply]

If I have a file called canción, without any extension, and I want to rename it to poesía, without extension, it doesn't do it. The file canción remains the same. Also if you have a file, say ola.txt, and you want to convert it to mas.txt, it won't do it. It only works if the filename has at least 8 characters including point and extension. Moreover, if the $to filename, has equal or more number of characters than the $from filename and this has at least 10 characters, strange characters appear on the $to filename. For example if I want to convert television to publishing I get publishing尀⩷␩)ꡀⅦ	[reply]
