hello ...

I have series: yr05 , yr06 , ...

I want: yr1980 , yr1981 , ...

I have tried variations of:

rename yr* @left( "yr" + @str( @val(*) + 1975) , 999 )

I am using @left simply because it returns ...

Hello,

Unfortunately, the rename command does not accept functional transforms, only patterns. However, you can easily achieve your goals with a loop.

Code: Select all


%series = @wlookup("yr*", "series")
for %s {%series}
	%new_name = "yr" + @str(@val(@mid(%s, 3)) + 1975)
	rename {%s} {%new_name}
next
