Hi folks
Bit sort of off topic but hopefully ok
I have some 350 picture files with names along the lines of "IMG_7127 EOS-1D Mark III copy.jpg" i would like to rename them all to more like "IMG_7127.jpg" i have tried a few times tonight and cant get my head around it anyone got a script that can do it
If the string is always the same use this:
rename " EOS-1D Mark III copy" "" *.jpg
If not:
for file in *.jpg; do mv "$file" "$(echo "$file" | sed 's/regex here//')" done
This won't be fast, but it gets the job done.
Totally forgot about perl-rename there. perl-rename 's/regex here//' *.jpg -- Florian Pritz
