Bash to rename portion of file using match to another
In the portion of bash below I am using rename to match the $id variable to $file and when a match (there will alwsys be one) is found then the $id is removed from each bam and bam.bai in $file and _test is added to thee file name before the extension. Each of the variables is set correctly but rename is not working. Thank you .
Code:
if ! [[ " ${id[*]} " == *\ $file\ * ]]
then
for id in $file ; do
cd "$dir"
rename s/"IonCode_[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]_"/""/g "$id"_test.bam ## use perl rename to remove barcode and insert $id_test
rename s/"IonCode_[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]_"/""/g "$id"_test.bam.bai ## use perl rename to remove barcode and insert $id_test
done
break
end
fi
