batch-rename

I've got about 750 directories that contain two files each: long_somewhat_random_filename.jpg thumb.jpg What I'd like to do is use find or something similar to rename thumb.jpg to long_somewhat_random_filename_thumb.jpg . My brain's kinda fuzzy at the moment. I could do it with a perl script, but if there's a somewhat easy way to do it in bash, that's easier. Give the script below a shot. Right now the echo makes it benign so you can try before you buy so to speak. If you like what you see, remove the echo and run the script again to actually make the changes. #!/bin/bash while read file; do

I wanted to use a batch script to rename a bunch of files which are using the following name scheme: File 2-9.pdf File 3-9.pdf File 4-9.pdf [...] I want to invert the numbers so that they will become... File 9-2.pdf File 9-3.pdf File 9-4.pdf [...] Normally I would search for the repeating string and replace it, but in this case the string changes with each file, so I don't know how to go about it. Any ideas? Thank you for reading. EDIT: I am on Windows, I am seeking to create a .bat file. Something like For %%# in ("file-path") Do ( Set "File=%%~nx#" Ren "%%#" "!File:%Pattern%=%Replace%!" )

I'd like to search for a list of words from an external list (simple each word on a line) which we'll call "List.txt", and search for them in a file (C:\Users\P Ditty\Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Backups_SCR*.clg) (matching the whole word, even if it's inside another, and matching case) , then if they are there find those words on another file(Campaign_SCR.mis.tmp) (matching the whole word even if its inside another, matching case) replacing the whole line in (Campaign_SCR.mis.tmp) with Name=ShipDummy ONLY if the line starts with "Name=". After that the two lines below that in that same file would

I have this part of batch script which is doing following: -There is a main folder, in the main folder are two files (movie & subtitle file) and one Sub-folder called 'Subtitles' -This script takes the name of the movie file and renames with it the subtitle file + moves the subtitle file into the 'Subtitles' sub-folder and then renames the main folder. So at the end we have one movie name, which is used on the subtitle file and on the main folder as well. @echo off setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion cd /D "%~DP0" echo BASE FOLDER: %cd% set n=0 for /D %%a in (*) do ( set /A n+=1 cd "%%a" echo ====

I downloaded a lot of videos that are named like [site.com] filename.mp4 and I wanted to remove the prefix so that they are named like filename.mp4 . I tried a batch file with the following code: ren "[site.com] *.mp4" "///////////*.mp4" But the result was .com] filename.mp4 and can't rename anything beyond the dot, any ideas? @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL SET "sourcedir=U:\sourcedir" FOR /f "tokens=1*delims=]" %%a IN ( 'dir /b /a-d "%sourcedir%\*" ' ) DO IF "%%b" neq "" ( FOR /f "tokens=*" %%h IN ("%%b") DO ECHO(REN "%sourcedir%\%%a]%%b" "%%h" ) GOTO :EOF You would need to change the setting of
