Hello,
I have a directory containing svg/Flag_of_United_States.svg etc...
Flag_of_the_Seychelles.svg
Flag_of_the_Solomon_Islands.svg
Flag_of_the_United_Arab_Emirates.svg
Flag_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg
Flag_of_the_United_States.svg
Flag_of_the_Vatican_City.svg
Also I have a CSV file like
"us", "United States"
"es", "Spain"
....
How can I rename the svg files so that they become:
flag-us.svg
flag-es.svg
This is one of those ones where it helps if you have
a go first and tell us how far you got, or where
the problem lies. Otherwise you're likely to get
a lot of sarcastically helpful replies along the lines
of:
move Flag_of_the_Seychelles.svg flag-sc.svg
To get you started if you're nowhere at the moment,
you want to create a dictionary from your csv which maps
the long name to the short name so that can then
parse the file name to find the long name, use the
dictionary to find the short name, and then issue
a rename command to the new name.
