shell script to automate touch and rename
by mattdawolf from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5FE2G)
I have about 1000 files with YYYYMMDD_HHMM_nameoffile.extension
What is the best way to tell touch to take the values from the start of the filename, touch the file appropriately, and then trim 14 characters from the filename.
