I am using hte rename command to clean up a bunch of files. I know you should be able to use regex with the rename command, but it seems to ignore them.Most of the time I am using something like:rename 'something' 'some' *Now lets say I have files named:
someFile(2009).ext
otherFile(2008).ext
File(2006).ext

I need to rename:
avatar_01.jpg

[code]....
I'm trying to clean up some files and I've been using the rename command as its the easiest way I've found to do it. One problem I've found is that on a couple of batches of files they have a set random numbers on them which I need to remove.
Only problem is I can't find a way for rename to "lock" onto those numbers to remove them. The file name structure is something like this:
file name[random numbers].extension
There are brackets around the numbers as well which I'm not sure will help or not.
Suppose I have the following files:
1132_1_fr.mp3
1132_2_fr.mp3
1132_3_fr.mp3
.
.
.
1132_3_fr.mp3
[Code].....
So I want to add PD_ to those who dont have this preindex and get rid of _fr.
basically rename files in a same directory!!
I have a SUSE system that is going wild with the logs. The logs were being rotated at one time but they no longer are. The disk is only 2.0GB, I can't take the server down because this is a live server that requires 24/7 operation and a downtime of no more then 5min per year. I can't drop to single user mode, because this system is accessed by users at all times, even during night. Below you will see that I have one file that refuses to rotate.
Code:
total 1.3G
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 824 2009-06-09 08:16 .

View 6 Replies View RelatedIn a moment of madness I decided to reorganise my mp3 player. I am putting everything into one folder (called 'all'), but first I am renaming the files to the following format:
artist ## songtitle
where ## is a number like 01, 02. This has been pretty straightforward with the songs that already started with a number, because then I could just
rename 's/(dd)/artist $1/' *.mp3
but I have a problem with those tracks that don't already have the track-numbers at the beginning. I suppose what I am asking is: can I turn
All Along the Watchtower.mp3
Purple Haze.mp3
Hey Joe.mp3
into
01 All Along the Watchtower.mp3
02 Purple Haze.mp3
03 Hey Joe.mp3
I have a bunch of mislabeled files among other things but I'll start with this first. as using the command line to fix this issue.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI misused wildcards like a moron, in the rename command. I repeated names twice in a 3gig folder, which I cannot afford to delete. Now, the rename command is not working, and it says the file name is too long. I am a competent programmer in Java, PHP, and I know basic C.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to rename all files in a folder as such:
1.jpg
2.jpg
3.jpg
Renaming them is no problem, the problem I have is, they need to be in order of the datetime that they were taken, so that the 1.jpg would be the oldest file there. The difference in filetimes is going to be very small, around 3 or 4 tenths of a second.
The reason I need to do this is that I have another script (not quite finished yet), that takes the next three files in a loop and applies qtpfsgui to them to output an HDR image to another folder, then move on to 4,5 & 6, and: repeat.
I want to rename some files in one directory and found the command 'rename' most appropriate.
Changing the file extension is easy since there are lot of examples for this.
But now I want to rename my files like this:
'somePrefix_blablabla.ext' --> '0_blablabla.ext'
'somePrefix_blablablablabla.ext' --> '0_blablablablabla.ext'
I DON'T want an incrementation, just the leading prefix '0_'
correct perl expression syntax for this?

I accidently created an account with the wrong username. I need to change it to something else. I never done this before but I think you can issue this command "usermod -l login-name old-name" which only changes the username nothing else.I know I will also need to change the home directory to reflect the changes but I am not sure what to do.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running Linux and I have some basic console knowledge but my current problem is quite difficult and I dont know how to achieve this. I want/need to rename everything within a folder that matches a given string.

Basically I want to refactor a Java-project. Sure, I could use Eclipse to handle the replacing, but this leaves out the folders or resources outside of my workspace. I was thinking of a script that could do the job for me but this seems rather tricky. For instance when it comes to folder-/file-rename I want to replace only the part of the name that matches my string, the rest should remain untouched.
I have a bunch of images named:
1.jpg
2.jpg
317.jpg
317 (2)a.jpg
etc.
In my file browser (Nautilus), they are displayed in the correct numerical order. However, in Brasero when I order them, it orders them strangely (correctly, but not the way I want them to). They order like this:
1
10
100
101

Can someone recommend a naming convention to rename all these files to so they are in the correct order (for example, cameras use IMG_xxxx.JPG, which is nice)?
Can someone give me a Linux command line rename command for these files so they are renamed to display and therefore burn in the correct order?
They're standard JPEG files, so ordering them by the date in the EXIF data might work. I just need the correct commands, or GUI - I don't mind - to get them in order.

Basically I would like to rename files with extension .jpg using as a suffix the filename of another file in the very same directory with extension .avi
The reason for this is because pretty much all the DLNA devices like modern TV playing .avi files will display a thumbnail of the video when browsing the filesystem, however to do so they'll need .jpg image wit hthe same filename of the video in the very same directory.
I am happy to report I successfully setup a cloning station using Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid Lynx and Clonezilla. I learned the hard way you have to restore images to a hard drive of a larger size than the drive the image was ripped from. I had already ripped 6 or more images and have them in the Home_Partimag folder and cannot delete or rename these images. I want to remake these images and rip them from smaller hard drives. Any commands I can use to be able to do this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm currently trying to make a script to rename all the files with one provided file extension to a second provided file extension. I've achieved this by commanding "sh newext doc txt" with the following which works perfectly:
#!/bin/sh
for f in *$1;
do
mv "$f" "`basename "$f" $1`$2";
done;
However, I'd like to be able to modify what I've written so far, so that I can choose whether to convert file extensions in a subdirectory or not. For example, I could enter "sh newext -r doc txt" and the subdirectory's files would also be affected by my script, or enter "sh newext -n doc txt" which would only affect the directory I'm in.
I have to do a very simple task but being a newbie, its becoming a challenge Here is what I have to do:1.

I get a bit lazy using cUrl, often letting downloads go without adding the proper extension to images and whatnot. Yes I know about the -O flag, but I'm the kind who likes to give my files unique names right off the bat (until they puzzle out a way to "stamp" files with originating URLs across platforms, Classic MacOS Web-browser style, curl -o is the way to go). So I was hoping someone could help me write a script (bash or python, doesn't matter which) that used the file command to look inside files in a single directory and then rename the ones it happened across that didn't have a 3- or 4-letter extension, appending the one that corresponded with the mime type. But this action only to be performed on files with no extension.
I know Linux and Unix don't bother much with extensions. I started home computing on a Mac IIcx -- that kind of intuition is beyond natural for me and very much appreciated. But I, and a few of my friends and family, alsose Windows where file extensions are an idiot-proof way, if nothing else good can be said about the two, to get file X to open in application Y and not Q, W or Z (or, worse for some, no application at all).I've seen a few scripts in different places, but they all seem to have the flaw of renaming files that already have an extension
