Renaming of multiple filenames - UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi All,

I need to rename the multiple file names.

I need to rename for example as follows

bas100e1_jun05 to FLAT1
bas100e2_jun05 to FLAT2
bas100e18_jun05 to FLAT18

Please not that I can cut_jun05 from the filename. Madhan had helped with a similar kind of script. But this is a new requirement.

Thanks
Shash

Code:

echo 'bas100e18_jun05' | sed 's/.*[A-Za-z]\([0-9][0-9]*\)_.*/\1/'

There's no need for the -e if you've only got one expression.

Cheers
