It can be necessary to replace the line "file_name" with the current filename:

This bash script might help:

#!/bin/bash

if ( [ $1 == "usage" ] || [ $1 == "Usage" ] ); then
echo -e "Usage:"
echo -e " replaceLineInStatFiles 'filepattern,ie. *.stat'\n"
echo -e " This script fixes a problem with our new laser scanner"
echo -e " In all files with the given extension, i.e. *.stat, "
echo -e " the line which beginns with 'file_name' the filename is replaced with the real filename of the file"
exit 1
fi

for i in $( ls *.stat);
do
mv "$i" "$i.save"
sed "/file_name/c\file_name = $i" "$i.save" > "$i"
cat "$i"
rm "$i.save"
done
