rename files help
Hi, I've already search for this issue but I found different scripts for rename files, but I don't know how to customize it for my needs.
Here's what I want to do:
I have a lot of files inside many directories, like this:
/aa/01.txt
/aa/02.txt
/ab/01.txt
/ab/02.txt
I want all those files in only one directory, but I have a 01.txt file on each directory, means with the same name, so if I move all the files the last one will overwrite the one with the same name.
Because I'm a newby (and with a poor english) I've tried using something like:
find . -name '*.txt' -exec mv {}:\
but I don't know how to put a variable inside the {}.
I know a very simple script will do the trick, sadly I don't know how to do it.
Maybe you could help me with some tip. Thanks a lot!!!

make-lingua-identify-language
MAKE-LINGUA-IDENTIFY-LANGUAGE(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation MAKE-LINGUA-IDENTIFY-LANGUAGE(1p)
NAME
make-lingua-identify-language - creates language modules for Lingua::Identify
SYNOPSIS
make-lingua-identify-language Language-Tag Language-Name file1 [file2 ...]
or
make-lingua-identify-language -d TAG1-LANGUAGE1/ [TAG2-LANGUAGE2/ ...]
or
make-lingua-identify
DESCRIPTION
Creates language modules to be used by Lingua::Identify.
After creating the modules, you still have to install them.
Please note that this script is still at an early stage. Please do not even look at the code...
Without parameters, make-lingua-identify-language assumes mode -d and goes through all the directories in the current one. This is useful
to be used in a directory where you something like this:
.
|-- en-english
| `-- english.txt
|-- fr-french
| `-- french1.txt
| `-- french2.txt
`-- pt-portuguese
`-- portuguese.txt
OPTIONS
-d
Directory mode. Each parameter passed should be a directory whose name must be of the form tag-name (e.g., en-english/ ). Each of the
directories passed should contain text files that can be used to train Lingua::Identify.
-D
Debug mode. Only for development.
-h
Display help and exit.
-v
Show version and exit.
-verbose
Verbose mode.
-locale="<locale>"
Set a specific locale. This way your text will be all lowercased before analysed.
META.yml
"META.yml" files are not parsed as other files, they are ignored.
In directory mode ("-d" switch), "META.yml" files are checked for info on languages codes and sets.
Here's a simple "META.yml" for you to put in your directories:
two_letter_code: pt
three_letter_code: por
sets:
spoken_in_portugal
With that, the language will be identified with the two letter code "pt" or the three letter code "por"; it will also be in the set
":spoken_in_portugal".
CONTRIBUTING WITH NEW LANGUAGES
Please do not contribute with modules you made yourself. It's easier to contribute with unprocessed text, because that allows for new
versions of Lingua::Identify not having to drop languages down in case I can't contact you by that time.
Use make-lingua-identify-language to create a new module for your own personal use, if you must, but try to contribute with unprocessed
text rather than those modules.
