Renaming bulk directories and subfiles
Hi,

I have a directory with 100 subdirectories and each of these subdirectories has 1 file. Now I have to rename all these.

The structure is "files directory has 100 SRR191639-SRR191718 subfolders and in each there is a file with the same name a subdirectory followed by .sra extension (SRR191639.sra)

example files->SRR191639->SRR191639.sra

Like this I have 100 files

I have a another file which has the sample names corresponding to these SRR numbers. Now I want to rename the subdirectories and the file in those directories with the sample names.

Sample name file:
Code:
ABC_123 SRR191639
XYZ_IRT SRR191640
ABC_1LK SRR191641

output

The subdirectories and the child files should be renamed to

Code:
ABC_123->ABC_123.sra
XYZ_IRT->XYZ_IRT.sra
ABC_1LK->ABC_1LK.sra

Thanks,
