Script move and rename based on matching criteria
Hi all,
i would like to create a script that move and rename files from all the subdirectories of a given directory to others subdirectories of the same directory based on "matching" criteria in the "from" and "to" parameters.
Example:
Begin script
from /home/test/1_T_2008* move to /home/test/1_T/2008/*
from /home/test/12_B_2008* move to /home/test/12_B/2008/*
from /home/test/1765_T_2008* move to /home/test/1765_T/2008/*
and so on....
End script
N.B. All the directories are already created.
Anyone can help me?
Thank you all,

mrename
MRENAME(1) General Commands Manual MRENAME(1)
NAME
mrename - program to rename files
SYNOPSIS
mrename 'pattern' prefix [option]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the mrename command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the
original program does not have a manual page.
mrename is a tool for easy and automatic renaming of many files. The 'pattern' is the pattern to search files to rename (quoted to avoid
that bash resolve it), and prefix is the prefix that will be added to the name of each file. The two alternative options for copying or
moving files in the new name are explained below. All parameters are needed, and you have to stay and launch the script in the same direc-
tory of the files to be renamed. The program should be able to write in this directory.
OPTIONS
There are only the following three options.
-c The option -c will copy each file with the new filename.
-m The option -m will move each file in the new filename.
-h Display help.
EXAMPLE
If you have a directory with two jpeg images prof.jpg and forp.jpg and you want to add them a prefix like item0, item1 etc.. (that is
item0prof.jpg, item1forp.jpg etc..) do this:
cd /path/to/the/images
mrename '*.jpg' item -c
to copy each matching file into another with the new name
mrename '*.jpg' item -m
to rename each file without keeping a copy with the previous name
