Here is a very good script. That should do the trick. You will have to modify it of course.
It is not mine. But here it is.

Rename files script
If you want to rename files
in a directory then you can
use the following perl
script....
#!/usr/bin/perl
# rename: renames files according to the expr given on the command line.
# The expr will usually be a 's' or 'y' command, but can be any valid
# perl command if it makes sense. Takes a list of files to work on or
# defaults to '*' in the current directory.
# e.g.
# rename 's/\.flip$/.flop/' # rename *.flip to *.flop
# rename s/flip/flop/ # rename *flip* to *flop*
# rename 's/^s\.(.*)/$1.X/' # switch sccs filenames around
# rename 's/$/.orig/' */*.[ch] # add .orig to your source files in
*/
# rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' # lowercase all filenames in .
# rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/ if -B' # same, but just binaries!
# rename chop *~ # restore all ~ backup files
use Getopt::Std;
my ($subst, $name);
if (!&getopts("nfq") || $#ARGV == -1) {
die "Usage: rename [-fnq] <perl expression> [file file...]
-f : Force the new filename even if it exists already
-n : Just print what would happen, but don't do the command
-q : Don't print the files as they are renamed
e.g. : rename 's/\.c/.c.old/' *
rename -q 'y/A-Z/a-z/' *\n";
}
$subst = shift; # Get perl command to work on
@ARGV = <*> if $#ARGV < 0; # Default to complete directory
foreach $name (@ARGV) {
$_ = $name;
eval "$subst;";
die $@ if $@;
next if -e $_ && !$opt_f; # Skip if the file exists if asked to.
mext if $_ eq $name;
if ($opt_n) {
print "mv $name $_\n";
next;
}
print "mv $name $_\n" if !$opt_q;
rename($name,$_) or warn "Can't rename $name to $_, $!\n";
}
Put the script called rename in /usr/local/bin. Make sure
/usr/local/bin is in your $PATH for convenience.

Hi,
I want to be able to list all the names in a file which begin with a capital letter, but I don't want it to list words that begin a new sentence. Is there any way round this?
Thanks for your help. (1 Reply)
I've got a multitude of text data files that carry exactly the same kind of data. Unfortunately some of them have a different filename format
some are: 'category'_'month'-'year'_act.txt
an example being: daf_Apr-1961_act.txt

I need to use bash to convert sentences where all words start with a small letter into one where all words start with a capital letter.
So that a string like:

I have written the following python snippet to store the capital letter starting words into a dictionary as key and no of its appearances as a value in this dictionary against the key.

Hi,
I need to replace, as the title says, the first letter of each line (when it's not a number) by the same letter, but capital.
For instance :
hello
Who
123pass
Would become :
Hello
Who
123pass
Is there a way with sed to do that ? Or other unix command ?
Thank you :) (7 Replies)

vfs_crossrename
VFS_CROSSRENAME(8) System Administration tools VFS_CROSSRENAME(8)NAME
vfs_crossrename - server side rename files across filesystem boundaries
SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = crossrename
DESCRIPTION
This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
The vfs_crossrename VFS module allows server side rename operations even if source and target are on different physical devices. A "move"
in Explorer is usually a rename operation if it is inside of a single share or device. Usually such a rename operation returns
NT_STATUS_NOT_SAME_DEVICE and the client has to move the file by manual copy and delete operations. If the rename by copy is done by the
server this can be much more efficient. vfs_crossrename tries to do this server-side cross-device rename operation.
There are however limitations that this module currently does not solve:
The ACLs of files are not preserved,
meta data in EAs are not preserved,
renames of whole subdirectories cannot be done recursively, in that case we still return STATUS_NOT_SAME_DEVICE and let the client
decide what to do,
rename operations of huge files can cause hangs on the client because clients expect a rename operation to return fast.
This module is stackable.
OPTIONS
crossrename:sizelimit = BYTES
server-side cross-device-renames are only done for files if the filesize is not larger than the defined size in MiB to prevent
timeouts. The default sizelimit is 20 (MiB)
EXAMPLES
To add server-side cross-device renames inside of a share for all files sized up to 50MB:
[testshare]
path = /data/mounts
vfs objects = crossrename
crossrename:sizelimit = 50
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 4.0.0 of the Samba suite.
