Remove repeating pattern from beginning of file names.
I want a shell script that will traverse a file system starting at specific path.
And look at all file names for repeating sequences of [number, number, space] and remove them from the file name.
The portion of the name that gets removed has to be a repeating sequence of the same characters.
So the script would start from a specific directory, for example:
/Users/username/Music/
And traverse the file system looking at file names. Files would get renamed like this:
01 01 01 file23.txt >becomes> file23.txt
02 file717.txt >becomes> file717.txt
07 07 07 07 99 file.txt >becomes> 99 file.txt
file444.txt is unchanged
I was thinking that maybe this could be done using find piped into xargs, but I am not really sure how to do this.
Any feedback on this would be appreciated very much.
