Re: [hylafax-users] Change the naming for received faxes

["John Colarchik" <johnc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is my solution to renaming received faxes to identify the device on which the fax was received.  I was unable to figure out how to use the sed command to edit the filename with $DEVICE, so I am using the if command.

 

I am using Suse 8.1 Professional with Digi Acceleport Xem, configured with 3 modems.

 

In an attempt to understand what was happening with each line, I have place comments before the command.  If my explanation of what is happening is incorrect, feel free to correct me.   I added the following at line 107 of faxrcvd:

 

# rename fax received to identify the modem

if [ $DEVICE = "ttya01" ]; then

# Create Variable NEWFILE by substituting "faxa01"

# for "fax" in the characters defined by FILE

     NEWFILE='echo $FILE | sed 's/fax/&a01/g'`

# NEWFILE is now equal to faxa01XXXXX where

# XXXXX is the fax number as determined by

# /var/spool/fax/recvq/seqf

# Now, rename the original file, $FILE (faxXXXXX)

# to $NEWFILE (faxa01XXXXX)

     mv $FILE $NEWFILE

# Now reset FILE so that it is equal to the new filename

     FILE=$NEWFILE

     elif [ $DEVICE = "ttya02" ]; then

         NEWFILE='echo $FILE | sed 's/fax/&a02/g'`

         mv $FILE $NEWFILE

         FILE=$NEWFILE

         elif [ $DEVICE = "ttya03" ]; then

             NEWFILE='echo $FILE | sed 's/fax/&a03/g'`

             mv $FILE $NEWFILE

             FILE=$NEWFILE

fi

Subject: [hylafax-users] Change the naming for received faxes

Hi,

 

Can someone possibly help me?  I would like to have the file names of the fax received identify the port on which the fax was received by replacing "fax" with the last 3 characters of the Device ID.  For example:  for the modem ttya01, I would like the filename for the fax received to be something like a01-0001.tif instead of fax00001.tif

 

I have searched the mailing list archives, support documentation and man pages but can't find an answer.

 

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!

 

John
