Thread: naming files

Greetings,
I have a question regarding naming files. Assume that I have a sac file by
the name
2006.300.33.SDMD.BHZ.R.SAC
say, If I want to extract only the 2006.300.33.SDMD part for naming purposes
after I do certain calculations on it, how do I do it?
would something like this work?

set bb name $1$.$STATION$ ?
w %name.z

It didn't so far for me?
Would like to hear any suggestions from any one out there....

Thank you.

Januka

Hi Talal,

you could create a shellscript that runs your cutting macro for every
sac-file in the current directory:
I used that to byteswap a lot of files at once:

for j in $*
do
fn=$j
echo sac_starts_here %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
/usr/local/bin/sac /macro/macro.m $fn
done
exit 0

You have to adjust the pathes to point to your sac binary and to the macro
you want to use.
The macro looks like this:

r $1
"some other commands"
q


If you execute the shellscript with
"script.sh *.SAC"
the for loop will cycle through all the .SAC files, read every single one
in
sac and then execute the commands in the macro.
You still would have to figure out a way to calculate the parameters for
every file, but this depends on what you want.

ciao,
Andreas
