One point - consider NOT having spaces in file names. When using cmd.exe or cygwin they can cause problems later on.
This is how it works for what you describe. I put a # in front of the command that renames files. That line is red. Leave it there until you have run through the script, seen the proposed outcomes. Then remove it. In shell # marks the start of a comment - the shell interpreter ignores the stuff after it.
c:/Users/Ralze34/media/mydirectory is a name I made up. Use the correct one. cygwin uses / instead of \ in file names.
this will not work if your files have spaces in the file names
Wow, ok none of that makes sense to me (technically speaking). Thanks for the help though. So I copied what you have and see this printed out:
So now I am guessing I need to tweak to handle the correct replacements (again something I am clueless on). It seems I need to replace the s01e01 to like s01e + $count since we set count to 1 at start. Then something to strip out everything except the episode name.
Hello,
I want to rename multiple files at a time and I don't know how to do it.
I have various ".mp3" files, like "band name - music name.mp3" and I want to remove the "band name" from all files.
Anybody knows how to do it using shell script or sed or even perl?
Thanks (7 Replies)

Thanks..

Hi,
In my directory I have many files, for e.g.

setup
setup(1) setuptool setup(1)NAME
setup - A text mode system configuration tool
SYNOPSIS
setup
DESCRIPTION
The setuptool program (setup) is a front-end menu program for a group of other tools, mostly system-config-*-tui tools. The list of options
which it presents is assembled by scanning /etc/setuptool.d and /usr/share/setuptool/setuptool.d for files.
Each file in the directory should contain one or more lines of text. Each line contains from one to four fields which are separated by "|"
characters. In order, they are:
- the path to the binary to invoke (mandatory)
- the untranslated name of the application which should be displayed
(If unset, defaults to the path of the binary, but don't depend on that.)
- the gettext textdomain in which a translation of the name of the application can be found
(If unset, defaults to "setup".)
- the directory in which translations for the textdomain can be found
(If unset, defaults to "/usr/share/locale".)
If multiple entries with the same untranslated name exist, the one which was read FIRST takes precedence. Files are read in name collation
order.
EXAMPLE
A contrived example would create /etc/setuptool.d/00bogus with these contents:
/bin/ls --color; /bin/sleep 5|Example "ls" invocation.
or
/bin/ls --color; /bin/sleep 5|Give this help list|libc
to use one of libc's (not meaningful here, but) translatable messages.
