Hi,
may be this help you:
Quote:
export LIST=`ls`
for file in $LIST; do newname=`echo $file|sed s/oldname/newname/g`; echo "change $file to $newname";mv $file $newname; done;

That's rather a roundabout way of doing it... See Useless Use of Backticks.
Code:
OLDIFS="$IFS"
IFS="-_."

ls | while read A B C D EXT
do
        echo mv "${A}_${B}_${C}-${D}.${EXT}" "${B}.${EXT}"
done

IFS="$OLDIFS"

Remove the echo once you've tested it and are sure it does what you want.
