Is there a way to replace strings in filenames with oneliner using TCL. For example, with perl it would be:
files:
testA1.txt
testA2.txt
testA3.txt
Oneliner
perl -e "while(<test*>) {($new=$_) =~ s/A/B/; rename $_, $new}"
Files
testB1.txt
testB2.txt
testB3.txt
In generally, is TCL appropriate for oneliners? I didn't find in the net oneliners for TCL as I found for Perl and Powershell.

The simplest I can think of would be this:
foreach f [glob test*] {file rename $f [string map {A B} $f]}
Like in any language though, one liners are generally for quick and dirty things or for fun. Not something you'd find in proper code.
