I have hundreds of MTS and AVI files since 2000 and would like to rename them in the following manner based on the date created: DD-MMM-YYYY HH.MM.SS_X; where X begins at 1 and increments by 1 if there are dublicate date/time stamped videos.
Ex: 19-Nov-2002 08.12.30.avi, 19-Nov-2002 08:13:30_1 and 19-Nov-2002 08:13:30_2
Someone previously wrote the following script for me, and it works great for photos. It uses EXIV2 to get the image date created info. I have tried to understand the script, but am struggling. The video files I have can use the date modified since I have not modified them since I filmed them.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
import stat
import pyexiv2
import time
directory = '/home/david/Desktop/test'

I'm trying to rename ~11000 files. What has happened is I have files in the following format:
string1_100_string2_200_string3_300.log
now the numbers 200 and 300 are sometimes below 100 and the file looks like this:
string1_100_string2_99_string3_99.log
and I want to rename such files to be like this:
string1_100_string2_099_string3_099.log
I wrote a small matlab script but it seems to take forever so thought I'd try and do it bash and have got near to nowhere....
I'm trying to rename a lot of files getting rid of the space on the names. For that purpose I wrote this very simple bash script, but for some reason is not working.
Code:
for i in "$(ls)"
do
j=$(echo "$i" | sed 's/ /_/g')
mv "$i" "$j"
done But what I get in return for each line is just one long file name with all the file names concatenated. I've tried with echo -e "$i" as well with no results. This has to be something really simple that I'm missing but I just can't see it.
I have a folder where all of my movies are placed. Each movie lies in its own folder. I want to write a script which renames all the movie files and gives them the name of the folder they are in.For example I want this file:/home/tryfon/movies/Black Irish [2007]/black.irish.dvdrip.avi to be renamed to /home/tryfon/movies/Black Irish [2007]/Black Irish [2007].aviOne issue is that the video files are of several file types (mostly avi, divx and mkv).Another issue is that some movies consist of two parts, so if a second avi file is found I would like the two (or more) files to be named like: "Black Irish [2007] CD1" and "Black Irish [2007] CD2", or if this is not possible at least notify me of the folders that contain more than one video fil
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to rename files recursively from a folder. I want to delete the & from every filename. i've searched the net and found the following script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
dir=/whatever/directory
for file in `ls $dir` ; do
# ANYCASE TO UPPERCASE:
newname=`echo $file | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'`
mv $dir/$file $dir/$newname
done
and changed it:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
dir=/home/test
for file in `find $dir -type f` ; do
#rename files containing &
newname=`echo $file` | tr '[&]' ''
mv $dir/$file $dir/$newname
done
But the for loop explodes the filename after each & sign, so i don't have a whole filename. if the file is named lorem & ipsum, the for loop will break it in 3 parts.
I have this cool bash script that I worked hard on. But it broke down when it can across files that had non-English characters. Another small problem was getting it to descend into a directory. If it renamed a directory it would not descend into that dir to rename the other files. I would have to run the script twice on the same directory.
Here is the script:
Code:
find -type d -o -regextype egrep -iregex '(.*.ogg|.*.mp3|.*.wav)' | while read s
do
rename -v 'y/A-Z/a-z/' "$s"
done
find -type d -o -regextype egrep -iregex '(.*.ogg|.*.mp3|.*.wav)' | while read n
do
rename -v 's/ /_/g' "$n"
done
A French name like this:
Code:
Chateau De Sable (imagine accents above the letter a)
became this:
Code:
ch303242tea_de_sable
This is not what I wanted.
Why would the script not descend into a directory after it was renamed?
I have used avidemux to cut a mp4 file, choosing just a part of it, and I have discovered it automatically adds "avidemux" to the beginning of the name of the file, plus the author of the file and that I cannot edit the file to erase it. Note that I talk about "right click - properties", and that the file, as seen from home folder dont include the "avidemux" prefix, but if, for instance, I run the file with VLC, "avidemux" will appear, and that is annoying. how to delete that annoying avidemux prefix?

I'm dipping my toes into some bash scripting and was wondering if there was a way to delete a file not based on how old it is, but rather how many other files are currently in the folder... or something to that effect....
What I'm doing is creating a script to back up a folder nightly. I'd like to keep a maximum of 3 backups. However in case the script for some reason fails to run one night (computer turned off possibly) I don't want to set the condition for deletion to be the date.
I know that if I run:
Code:
find /path/to/files* -mtime +3 -exec rm {} ;
that it will delete everything older than three days. -atime and -ctime don't seem to be what I"m looking for... is there another command I can use to achieve what I"m trying to?
Is there a way I can do a "deep" renaming of files? For example, I can do this: rename 's/.JPG$/.jpg/' *.JPG to rename all files ending with ".JPG" to ".jpg", but this only works in the current directory. How can I make this recursive? There's not a flag (that I can see) that does this. Basically, I want to rename ALL files on my hard drive with an upper case JPG extention to make them have a lower case jpg extention.

View 8 Replies View RelatedRunning kubuntu 11.04x64 w/ xrender and folder-view plasmoid:
I cannot view "open with" for directories on the desktop (but it is visible w/in dolphin file structure) and whenever I try to rename folders on the desktop it crashes and restarts (but the rename is successful and no open windows crash).
This glitch is reproducible under OpenGL and Xrender; had to switch over to xrender after a recent system update that seems to slow my computer to a crawl after a little time and kept it cause it seems much smoother and crisper.
Is there any way to fix these issues or is there an alternative to the folder-view plasmoid to view a folder content on the desktop that is more stable?
I have an Ubuntu server in which a file is dumped every hour and a new file for the next hour and the process continues. If there is any problem due to which the creation of file stops then empty files are created every minute till the process is killed & started again. I need help to make a shell script to check if the empty files are being created and then kill the process and start it again.It would be a great help if anyone can help me regarding this.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have this nasty habit of refreshing desktop in a quick succession by right-clicking and selecting 'Refresh',on my XP system at office.(And,iam sure most of us do the same).With Ubuntu,if a right-click on desktop slowly and select 'align by...',it simulates the XP refresh action as explained above.But,if i perform the same action rapidly,it takes this first option from right-click context menu,which is 'Create Folder',and results in an empty folder being created on desktop.I tried double right-clicking and again it created an empty folder.Is there any workaround to handle this.I mean:Can the right-click context menu items be shuffled so that the 'Create Folder' option is moved from 1st place

I was created one folder in linux with current time was 1978(For example). I was moved this folder to usb(FAT32 file format).While seeing this folder in window its not showing the folder time created time stamp, because the USB file system only support the year after 1980 . But again i am putting the same folder in linux ,its showing the correct time stamp.How is it possible? Because FAT32 only supports timestamp after 1980, but still its showing 1978 in linux system

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Netgear ReadyNAS NV in the basement, that I want to use to serve up video files over my network to a TV in the living room.
Now, I have a lot of files that HandBrake encoded and it gave the files an m4v suffix. Even when the files are in a codec that the TV can handle, it refuses to load them because of this suffix... so I want to rename them all.
This is fairly simple for files on a local filesystem. I can simply cd into the directory containing the files, and do something like the commands below.
