LumberJackGeek Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I am trying to rename files using "rename", but I guess I want the "perl version" of rename that does regex. To do this, I was trying to use cpan to install it, however cpan throws a YAML error, and so based on what I was reading I will need to install "make" which I am told I need to install "build-essential". This is what's supposed to work for Ubunutu, but it's probably different for unRAID: sudo apt-get install build-essential Ideas? Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Docker container or VM for perl and do all your work in there? Quote Link to comment
LumberJackGeek Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 I was just trying to do it on the OS itself. Is that wrong? Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 No, but substantially more complex and will be wiped out upon any reboot. Quote Link to comment
LumberJackGeek Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 What approach would you recommend? Quote Link to comment
LumberJackGeek Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Just used a Windows VM with Powershell to do what I needed Quote Link to comment
