I came across a situation I want to change a part of filenames.
I have many nvXXXX.nii files, and I want to change it to n1vXXXX.nii.
Below is the shell script I came up with.
The point is using sed.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | #!/bin/bash# A script to change a part of filenames.for FILE in $*do echo $FILE | sed -e "s/nv/n1v/" # This is optional. I just want to display the filenames on the monitor. mv $FILE `echo $FILE | sed -e "s/nv/n1v/"`done |
The below might be better if I want to use the new filenames as some variables.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | #!/bin/bash# A script to change a part of filenames.for FILE in $*do echo $FILE | sed -e "s/nv/n1v/" NEWFILE=`echo $FILE | sed -e "s/nv/n1v/"` mv $FILE $NEWFILEdone |
