Rename files from multiple directories along with directory indicator
Hi,
Friends, i have a requirement where i need to rename my files residing in multiple sub directories and move them to one different directory along with some kind of directory indicator.
For eg:
test--is my parent directory and it has many files such as
a1.txt
a2.txt
a3.txt
test1--subdirectory
b1.txt
b2.txt
test2--subdirectory
c1.txt
c3.txt
now, i want all these files to be renamed in one directory say temp directory, along with directory name or some kind of indicator, so that the renamed file can reveal from which directory it was taken and after renaming i want to move those renamed files from temp directory back to original directories (from which files taken for processing)
**renaming process is handled by informatica etl tool, where i want to add some information in files names.
so here is the flow--
->move files into temp folder(add some indicator in file name)
->rename files in informatica
->move back renamed files from temp directory to original directory based upon the indicator provided in first step(also remove that extra indicator)
apologize for such a long post, tried to simplify as much i can, kindly let me know if require any other information..
TIA
