Detailed operation method and example of batch file name modification in linux

Sometimes, using linux to modify file names in batches can save a lot of manpower operations. This is a very practical tip and I will share it with you.

Modify file names in batches in linux

0. Problem Source: add the date order to some files. That is, add the current year, month, and day before the file name.
The date format is as follows:
ZianEd@ Ubuntu :~ /Public_web_sSmO9OUVY1/FileS/image $Date+ % Y % m % d
20091112

1. UseFind, Awk/Grep/Sed,MvAnd so onCommandCombination
Under Ubuntu

Use the awk command to create an image as follows:
1) Find the file name to be operated
Zianed @ ubuntu :~ /Public_web_sSmO9OUVY1/files/image $ find-name &LsQuo; *. jpg '-printf % fn | grep-v ^ [0-9] | grep-v logo.jpg
Se_platfoRm. Jpg
Soa1.jpg
Soa4.jpg
Java_primitive_data_type.jpg
Soa3.jpg
Soa2.jpg

2) extract the file name and keep the file extension unchanged.
Zianed @ ubuntu :~ /Public_web_sSmO9OUVY1/files/image $ find-name '*. jpg '-printf % fn | grep-v ^ [0-9] | grep-v logo.jpg | awk-F '. ''{print $1 }'
Se_platform
Soa1
Soa4
Java_primitive_data_type
Soa3
Soa2

3) replace files in batches
Zianed @ ubuntu :~ /Public_web_sSmO9OUVY1/files/image $ find-name '*. jpg '-printf % f n | grep-v ^ [0-9] | grep-v logo.jpg | awk-F '. ''{print $1} '|
Xargs-I {} mv 00000000.jpg 'date used policyuncdomaind'00000000.jpg
Zianed @ ubuntu :~ /Public_web_sSmO9OUVY1/files/image $ ls

Use the nawk command to create the file as follows:
1) Find the file name to be operated
Zianed @ ubuntu :~ /Sedcommand $ find./-type f | grep "log" | sed-n's/. ///P'
Test2.log
Test1.log

2) Change the file name
Zianed @ ubuntu :~ /Sedcommand $ ls *. log
Test1.log test2.log
Zianed @ ubuntu :~ /Sedcommand $ find./-type f | grep "log" | sed-n's/. ///P' |
Nawk '{oldname = $1; $2 = 'date + % Y % m % d' $1; newname = $1; print "mv" oldname "" newname} '|/bin/sh
Nawk: warning: escape sequeNcE '.'TrEated as plain '.'
Zianed @ ubuntu :~ /Sedcommand $ ls *. log
Test1_test.log test2_test.log
Zianed @ ubuntu :~ /Sedcommand $

Use the sed command to perform the following operations:
Find/-type f-name "*. SQL" | sed s/(. *). SQL/mv & 1.pls/ '| sh

2. Compile a Shell script to run
Save as a Shell script

#! /Bin/bash
# Script_name: rename_ALL
Find./-type f | grep "txt" | sed-n's/. // p '| nawk' {oldname = $1;
SuB (/./, "_ test .");
Newname = $1;
Print "mv" oldname "" newname} '|/bin/sh

Save the above Code as the file rename_ALL
Modify the attributes of the script so that it can execute:ChmodU + x rename_ALL
Run:./rename_ALL

From Network
It looks very useful. It would be better to transfer the file name format to be modified.

3. Use the rename Command
Zianed @ ubuntu :~ /Public_web_sSmO9OUVY1/files/image $ rename-help
Unknown option: help
Usage: rename [-v] [-n] [-f] perlExPr [filenames]

Man rename found,
"Rename" renames the filenames supplied according to the rule specified as the first argument.
The perlExprArgument is a Perl expressionWhichIs expected to modify the $ _ string in Perl for at least some of the filenames specified. if a given filename is not modified by the expression, it will not be renamed. if no filenames are given on the command line, filenames will be read via standard input.
For example, to rename all files matching "*. bak" to strip the extension, you might say
Rename's/. bak $ // '*. bak
To translate uppercase names to lower, you 'd use
Rename 'y/A-Z/a-z /'*

Command Format:
Rename [-v] [-n] [-f] perlexpr [files]
Perlexpr is a Perl script format.Regular ExpressionExpression.
Files file name wildcard

Typical rename applications:
0. Modify file extensions in batches
$ Rename's/. txt/. ext /'*

1. Batch delete file extensions
$ Rename's/. txt //'*

2. Add file extensions in batches
