Shell batch Rename and move files

Shell batch Rename and move files

Using find and mv in shell can accomplish a lot of work.

To rename an image file in the current directory, use the following script:

#! /Bin/bash

# File name: rename. sh

# Purpose: Rename .jpg and .png files

Count = 1

For img in *. jpg *. png

Do

New = "image-" $ count. $ {img ##*.}

Mv "$ img" "$ new" 2>/dev/null

If [$? -Eq 0]; then

Echo "Renaming $ img to $ new"

Let count ++

Fi

Done

And so on.

To move all hosts files to a specified directory, you can use:

Find path-type f-name "*. mp3"-exec mv {} target_dir \;
