I want to rename a bunch of files in one go. After Googling I got this:
$ find -name "*.abc" -exec echo {} {} \; | sed -e "s/\.abc/\.def/" |
awk �{print $2 " " $1}� | xargs -n 2 -t mv
>mv ./sombrero.abc ./sombrero.def
>mv ./steams.abc ./steams.def
>mv ./sunset3.abc ./sunset3.def
>mv ./swirlbox.abc ./swirlbox.def
>mv ./smoke.abc ./smoke.def
It changes the file extention from .abc to .def !
OK, but instaed of simply changing the file extention from .abc to .def , I
want .s01, .s02 ... .s12 etc. i.e. the pipe command should pick up first
letter of the file-name ( "s" in this case ) and the rest 2 chars of file
extention should have "01", "02" etc in increasing order for that particular
letter.
The extention should be exactly 3-letter word in the above format.
PS: I was thinking of doing it thru "C" , but this seems to be much easier
trick. Good old Linux !
