We may have misunderstood each other. What i meant was this:
In this case - where you want to extract something from the file and then do something with it inside the script - "sed" (or "awk" or any other external program) will work considerably slower than the shell built-in, regardless of using your or my method. Your method might be even a bit faster than mine, but both methods will be way faster than any external program.
But: if you want to modify the file itself, like in:
it will be the other way round: "sed" and "awk" will be fastest, "perl" considerably slower and shell only probably the slowest ("ksh" perhaps faster than "bash", because "bash" is bloated beyond belief).
The bash below executes and does find all the .bam files in each R_2019 folder. However set -x shows that the .bam extension only gets removed from one .bam file in each folder (appears to be the last in each). Why is it not removing the extension from each (this is $SAMPLE)? Thank you :).

Hi all,
Can I edit this script:
find . -type f | while read i;do && mv "$i" "${i//abc/}" ;done
so that it will not only take out abc from the filename but also take out any numbers that might be in the filename as well.
An example would be,

filename abc 2009.mov
