bash script to rename in mass
Basically, I have a huge amount of files (ripped audiobooks) that all have the same garbage in their filenames. I'm wondering how to go about writing a bash script to mass rename them. Example filenames as they stand now: Code:
The First CD - 1x01 - Title 1.mp3 The First CD - 1x02 - Title 2.mp3 The First CD - 1x03 - Title 3.mp3 The First CD - 1x04 - Title 4.mp3 I'd like to have the script ask me what needs to be removed and then do it. In this case, I want to remove the text: "The First CD - " The output of the directory above would then be: Code:
1x01 - Title 1.mp3 1x02 - Title 2.mp3 1x03 - Title 3.mp3 1x04 - Title 4.mp3 Thanks all! |

if you have Python , you can use this script. eg usage Code:
# ls -1 *Title*mp3 The First CD - 1x01 - Title 1.mp3 The First CD - 1x02 - Title 2.mp3 # filerenamer.py -p "The First CD - " -e "" -l "*Title*mp3" #use -l to check ==>>>> [ /home/The First CD - 1x01 - Title 1.mp3 ]==>[ /home/1x01 - Title 1.mp3 ] ==>>>> [ /home/The First CD - 1x02 - Title 2.mp3 ]==>[ /home/1x02 - Title 2.mp3 ] # filerenamer.py -p "The First CD - " -e "" "*Title*mp3" #remove -l to commit /home/The First CD - 1x01 - Title 1.mp3 is renamed to /home/1x01 - Title 1.mp3 /home/The First CD - 1x02 - Title 2.mp3 is renamed to /home/1x02 - Title 2.mp3 # ls -1 *Title*mp3 1x01 - Title 1.mp3 1x02 - Title 2.mp3 |
