bash - How to decrement a number in each filename in a directory? -

-

running "ls -lrt" on terminal large list looks this:

-rw-r--r--  1 pratik  staff   1849089 jun 23 12:24 cam13-vid.webm -rw-r--r--  1 pratik  staff   1850653 jun 23 12:24 cam12-vid.webm -rw-r--r--  1 pratik  staff   1839110 jun 23 12:24 cam11-vid.webm -rw-r--r--  1 pratik  staff   1848520 jun 23 12:24 cam10-vid.webm -rw-r--r--  1 pratik  staff   1839122 jun 23 12:24 cam1-vid.webm

i have shown part of above sample.

i rename files have number 1 less current.

for example, 

mv cam1-vid.webm cam0-vid.webm mv cam2-vid.webm cam1-vid.webm ..... .... mv cam 200-vid.webm cam199-vid.webm

how can done using os x / linux bash script (perhaps using sed) ?

you can plain bash:

for in {1..200}     mv "cam${i}-vid.webm" "cam$((i-1))-vid.webm" done

Does Firefox offer AppleScript support to get URL of windows? -

-
i trying write applescript that, among other things, gets url of every open webpage in firefox. in safari (and chrome), done simply: tell application "safari" return url of every tab in every window however, seems me firefox offers no real applescript support, such getting url of tab or window. when google terms "firefox" , "applescript" together, firefox bug requests asking applescript support restored, last updated in 2010 or 2011 (like this , this ). am right in thinking, then, firefox no longer offers proper applescript support? realize there semi-workarounds, such simulating key-commands in applescript, aren't practical purposes. to see of applescript commands firefox responds to, launch applescript editor, select menu file > open dictionary... , , choose firefox application. you'll find you're expecting: firefox doesn't offer useful applescript commands.
