I frequently have a dozen or so screenshots taken with VLC. The files are in the format like this:
vlcsnap-2016-02-03-14h28m24s290 I wish to rename all the files in the folder that start with 'vlcsnap' to <some_keyword>#, where # is an incremental number starting with 0 for the first one and incrementing for each one. The files appear in chronological order, and that is how I want them numbered. It is important that they be numbered in chronological order. But once they are renumbered I don't want the cumbersome time stamp on each file. In other words, using the above file as an example, and assuming that it is the first in the series, I want to rename it to to: Keyword0 At this time I am renaming them individually one at a time. But I suspect that I can automate the process with the command line, saving myself a lot of tedious work. I could use some suggestions for how to go about this. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
