Re: [ccp4bb] changing names of many files
I don't know where this comes from, but its called rename-alot. Its a
perl script. I'm guessing Larry is Larry Wall, but who knows. chmod a
+x it and then put it in your path (~/bin)
You run it like this
rename-alot 's/1105 A/A/' *.osc
The above will change all files that look like this: 1105 A0176.osc
to this A0176.osc.
The script is everything between, but not including, the equals signs.
Your system probably has perl on it unless you are running Mac OS 9 or
prior or any version of Windows.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# rename - Larry's filename fixer
$op = shift or die Usage: rename-alot expr [files]\n .
eg: % rename-alot \'s/abc /abc-/\' abc*txt\n ;
chomp(@ARGV = STDIN) unless @ARGV;
for (@ARGV) {
$was = $_;
eval $op;
die $@ if $@;
rename($was,$_) unless $was eq $_;

Re: [ccp4bb] changing names of many files
There's a dead-ordinary linux command 'rename':
rename 1055 '' 1055*.osc

Re: [ccp4bb] changing names of many files
for me following works (just an example):
The objective was to remane all 336 images files to 760D6a0001(to 336).img
to 760D6a0_001(to _336).img
Just save the script below (like filename.com) and run as sh filename.com
***
for i in 760D6a0***.img
do
mv $i ${i%760D6a0***}760D6a0_${i#760D6a0}
done

Re: [ccp4bb] changing names of many files
Just for the sake of completeness:
mmv is also a package available for some linux distributions (SuSE at
least), so you don't need the alias.
If you like doing so using shell features, you could, with bash, issue
for i in 1105\ A*; do mv $i ${i#1105\ } ; done
This might work in many POSIX-sh-compliant shells, not only bash (which
the obsolete (t)csh is not ;- )
Cheers, Tim

Re: [ccp4bb] changing names of many files
Beware that 'rename' on Fedora/Redhat and the like works differently
from 'rename' on Debian/Ubuntu etc. Both are in /usr/bin but the former
is an executable and the latter is a Perl script (it's apparently
installed with Perl), and is probably descended from your 'rename-alot'
(the syntax appears to be identical).
Personally I think the Debian/Perl version is much more powerful, i.e.
you can do anything that's allowed by the Perl regexp rules. For
example the executable version only changes the *first* occurrence of a
search string, whereas with the 's/.../.../g' modifier you can change
multiple occurrences (assuming that's what you want of course!).

Install zsh. Then invoke it. Then issue: autoload -U zmv alias mmv='noglob zmv -W' Then you are ready for some fun: mmv 1105\ A*.osc A*.osc Then if you decide to make your default shell zsh, you can put that in your .zshrc file and all you have to remember in the future is mmv Raja Dey wrote: Hi, How I can change names of many files keeping the extension same.
