I am quite new to script programming and I am facing an uphill task to rename files in one folder. I have gone through similar posts but most of them deal with renaming files by changing the file extensions.
Problem : I have a folder which contains files like bild01.jpg,bild02.jpg....and so on..
There are more files in the folders which should remain untouched.
I want to rename these 'bild' files as follows:
#!/bin/bash
for i in `ls -1 bild*`
do
filename=$i
j=`echo $filename | sed 's/.*bild\(.\).*/\1/'`
if [ $j -eq 0 ]
then
echo "Good Morning"
elif [ $j -gt 0 ]
then
echo "Good Night"
fi
done
The if statements here compare the 5th character in each file name.
Instead of 'Good Morning' and 'Good Night', I would like to have a working code which replaces characters 'bild0' or 'bild' with letter 'c'
Any help is appreciated...
Thanks in advance
CJ
