With the possibility of different characters within the parenthesis it is definitely easier to use sed as using just BASH would require different steps. In that case this is the expression I would use:
That will discard anything up to and including the first bar
Capture the string of characters before the opening parenthesis
Disregard the opening parenthesis
Capture a single character inside the parentheses
Disregard the closing parenthesis and colon.
Capture the numeric string until the dash.
Disregard the dash.
Capture the numeric string until the bar.
Disregard the bar
Capture everything else (the file extension).
Anything that does not exactly match those conditions will remain unchanged and so mv would give a warning that the source and destination are the same, but will leave those filenames unchanged.
Otherwise the captured elements will be combined using underscores (except before the file extension) and be renamed.
Hi all,

Hi,
If I have a directory full of say 100 random files, and I would like to organize them, for example: FILE001, FILE002, FILE003, FILE004, etc.
How would I do this from Terminal, instead of manually changing each file? I'm using Mac OS X, if that makes a difference.
Thank you in advance... (8 Replies)

findrule
FINDRULE(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation FINDRULE(1p)NAME
findrule - command line wrapper to File::Find::Rule
USAGE
findrule [path...] [expression]
DESCRIPTION
"findrule" mostly borrows the interface from GNU find(1) to provide a command-line interface onto the File::Find::Rule heirarchy of
modules.
The syntax for expressions is the rule name, preceded by a dash, followed by an optional argument. If the argument is an opening
parenthesis it is taken as a list of arguments, terminated by a closing parenthesis.
Some examples:
find -file -name ( foo bar )
files named "foo" or "bar", below the current directory.
find -file -name foo -bar
files named "foo", that have pubs (for this is what our ficticious "bar" clause specifies), below the current directory.
find -file -name ( -bar )
files named "-bar", below the current directory. In this case if we'd have omitted the parenthesis it would have parsed as a call to name
with no arguments, followed by a call to -bar.
Supported switches
I'm very slack. Please consult the File::Find::Rule manpage for now, and prepend - to the commands that you want.
Extra bonus switches
findrule automatically loads all of your installed File::Find::Rule::* extension modules, so check the documentation to see what those
would be.
