It works! Thank you so much Scrutinizer!

So the solution is as follows:
tag -0 -f "Note" . | xargs -0 -I {} rename 's|(.*)/|$1/.|' {}

I tired :
tag -0 -f "Note" . | xargs -0 -I {} rename -n 's|.*/|$0/.|' {}

It starts to add the '.' to the file, however it removed out the subdirectory completely like this:...

Hi Scrutinizer,

Thanks for the quick response.

for tag command :
tag -0 -f "Note" . | xargs -0 -I {} echo {}

It only echo out a list of files including directories. Something like this...

I am trying find files in sub dir with certain tags using tag command, and add the period to the beginning. I can't use chflags hidden {} cause it doesn't add period to the beginning of the string...

What if we execute commands one by one, will it be easier? There was a time I was executing many different command lines by writing them all in a text editor and saved it as Unix Executable File . I...

Sorry. It should be left behind in current folder. :o 0H should be those that contain [] but no hyphens :)

Yes I wanted [noo-muh-noh-uhl-truh-mahy-kruh-skop-ik-sil-i-koh-vol-key-noh-koh-nee-oh-sis, nyoo-] inside 18H, overlooking that there was one more - after the , :o . The files normally doesn't have ,...

Thank you so much for very thoughtful questions. :D It makes it easier put into words now :)

Yes I would like to count hyphens just in between the [] on the 3rd line. :o

If the filename is just...

Oh, sorry I kind of miscounted the hyphens :D and yes I was basically too focused just on the word that I forgot to count other hyphens on the line as well.
What I really wanted to do was to sort...

@RudiC : You mean I should regroup them by moving into folders like aa, ab, ac and etc?

I think that make sense :D . I only seem to have 14 files that starts with "file".

Sorry, I am trying to move file containing more than two hyphens - at the 3rd line of each files to a new directory as a try-out first. But the commands seemed to be also moving files less than two...

I didn't try the one-by-one command method as there is too many, however, I'd tried :

Hi

I am so so sorry for the late reply guys. I lost the file and it took me quite awhile to retrieve those back as the internet is slow here.

So,

Here's the info of the file size :...

There seems to be error. Got to do with mv command.

Oh no :( my awk doesn't seem to work either. I don't think I could achieve doing one by one as it's about 690,000 files :S I guess I'm doomed. :|

Hi Guys

I am trying to move file containing more than two - at the 3rd line of each files to a new directory. The files are something like this :

****** Text ******

[text-text-text]
/text/...

It worked perfectly, thank you so much :D

Hi All

Is there a way to export every line into new txt file where by the title of each txt output are same as the line [or its content]?

I have this txt files containing names:

Yes, I saved it as MS-DOS txt or Window Formatted. I tried both but couldn't do sed. Maybe I will try .csv next time :)
