I just downloaded a copy of the Old Testament onto my laptop from the Windows side of my desktop.Alas, all of the links are in lower case and all of the file names came across in upper.way to rename all of the files in a directory to be in lower case instead of upper?
View 4 RepliesI need a either a script or perl script that will allow me to mass rename files, folders, and sub folders. I need to replace special chars in the current file names with underscores. I was able to make this happen in a single directory, but not recursively.
Here is what does it in a single directory.
for file in *
do
mv "$file" $(echo "$file" | sed 's/[^A-Za-z0-9_.]/_/g')
done
Linux cares about case sensitivity. This is a problem when some picture upload services accept .jpg while my camera uploaded the thousands of pictures I have as .JPG.
I can handle this task fine PER DIRECTORY. The problem is, I still have a ton of directories. Is there a way I can select - Pictures - Mass rename EVERYTHING inside and everything inside all sub directories from JPG to jpg?
Basically I want to take the existing command:
rename 's/.JPG$/.jpg/' *.JPG
a step further.
How would I rename all files with a leading decimal point recursivley? I some how got all my music files to have a decimal point.I tried the below and got a " sed argument to long".[CODE]find /media/MUSIC -type f -name "*.wma" | xargs -0 sed -i 's/.(.*)/1/'[CODE]
Another question, can i just use -type f with out -name ? I am sure that all the files got the decimal point added as the first character.
I have a list of .jpg files from two cellphones that I would like to rename to the file creation date... but so far I can't seem to find a suitable script (or anything remotely close to what I need).
These are jpg's snapped on cellphone cameras, so no EXIF data exists.

I search a tool to convert my media files to ogg-files. I've managed to to do so with VLC - but only file by file. Is there a way to just convert whole folders to ogg. Even if the files contained are in a lot of different formats?

View 6 Replies View RelatedUntil now i haven't had to dabble with bash scripts.
I have a program that reads in data files. These are named datafile01_R, datafile01_G, datafile01_B, they then increment, so datafile02_R etc i have about 600 of these. the program reads in 3 data sets at a time from each run, so files_01 r, g, and b.
The program then does its magic, and outputs about 40 different files, depending on the file, they gone to folders named R, G, B, psa, or tracking.
The program itself has configuration files to say where the files should gone when analyzed, there is also the config files that reads in the data sets.
At the moment i have to run one set of data, then go in and manually change the input file location, and run again. But, doing this, even though a different data set, the new set overwrites the old set in one of the output folders. So i need a way to increment the output filenames after they are written and before the program is run again with the new data set.

I guess the title says it all. I'm looking for a program that will rename a massive amount of files at once. JPGs specifically, or PNGs. More specifically,I'm creating a stopmotion movie. Using the program StopMotion. And for that, all you pictures, or frames, have to be named 001.jpg 002.jpg and so on. I've got about 300 or so images, and they're all named the default thing that my camera names them, you know, like DSCIM8520 or whatever. I'm looking for maybe a command line program or GUI is fine too, that will do this for me.

View 2 Replies View RelatedGetting together a script that will add numbers to all the files in a folder.
I've ripped most of my CDs to oggs for my new pmp, but I found that the pmp doesn't like files that are numbered just as 1 and 2, as it thinks that the 2 is more than 10.
So instead of going through all of my music folders and renaming every file by hand from 1 to 01 and from 2 to 02, I'd ask if there's a script that can be executed to add these numbers for me. It'd be even better if it only added the number to the files with only one digit.
Here's an example:

And I'd like to do it to all single-digit files lower than 10 in the folder, if possible. If not, I can isolate them by hand.
I want to rename all files in a directory to "random" names(the point is that the name does not exist, it can be anything). In my case is it *.wav file i want to rename, i basically want to burn cd's to my pc with cdparanoia, then rename them and put them in a directory with other songs i have which also have been given random names. (i'm creating a big music directory where the songs have no names)And i will eventually make a script to make things easier, but for some reason i can't think out a way to rename the files randomly, and i guess "$RANDOM" is a good variable to use but.. how?EDIT: And while i'm at it, is there any way to use the "play" command in the terminal, by "sorting" music files in a directory randomly, and then play them, so it will not be played the same order again?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow I could rename multiple jpg files.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my photos folder, I have hundreds of folders, each with Picasa.ini files.
Unfortunately, a lot of these files are actually ".picasa.ini" files & Picasa 3.0 does not recognize them.
All I want to do is rename all those ".picasa.ini" files to "Picasa.ini".
If there was a GUI way to do this, all in one go, then that would be my prefered method.
I couldn't find one, so reluctantly tried Terminal. After a lot of reading & trying, still no success.
"locate .picasa.ini" finds all the files easily.
I tried many variants around: "rename -v -n 's/.picasa.ini$/Picasa.ini/' .picasa.ini" to run a simulation without screwing anything up yet, but at best they only seem to rename one occurence, not all the files.
I am quite new to script programming and I am facing an uphill task to rename files in one folder. I have gone through similar posts but most of them deal with renaming files by changing the file extensions.Problem : I have a folder which contains files like bild01.jpg,bild02.jpg. There are more files in the folders which should remain untouched. I want to rename these 'bild' files as follows:
bild01.jpg -----> 1c.jpg
bild02.jpg -----> 2c.jpg
bild30.jpg------>30c.jpg
I would like to create a script as:
#!/bin/bash
