feature request - save string from match pattern to var

[Johannes Welser]

Hi there,

I can think of a nice feature for find in combination with the exec
parameter: Save the matched string from the name parameter and save it
into a special variable, say: <>
With this you could easily do many additional tasks - like a batch
renamer for example:

find ./pictures/ -name "*.jpeg" -exec mv {} <>jpg \;


How do you like this idea? Is this already implemented?
Would you merge it into the package if I would implement it?


Kind regards,

Johannes
