file-rename

I know how I can rename files and such, but I'm having trouble with this. I only need to rename test-this in a for loop. test-this.ext test-this.volume001+02.ext test-this.volume002+04.ext test-this.volume003+08.ext test-this.volume004+16.ext test-this.volume005+32.ext test-this.volume006+64.ext test-this.volume007+78.ext If you have all of these files in one folder and you're on Linux you can use: rename 's/test-this/REPLACESTRING/g' * The result will be: REPLACESTRING.ext REPLACESTRING.volume001+02.ext REPLACESTRING.volume002+04.ext ... rename can take a command as the first argument. The

I am trying to implement program to zip and unzip a file. All I want to do is to zip a file (fileName.fileExtension) with name as fileName.zip and on unzipping change it again to fileName.fileExtension . Try with: File file = new File("fileName.zip"); // handler to your ZIP file File file2 = new File("fileName.fileExtension"); // destination dir of your file boolean success = file.renameTo(file2); if (success) { // File has been renamed } John This is how I used to rename files or change its extension. public static void modify(File file) { int index = file.getName().lastIndexOf("."); //print

I have a large set of files, some of which contain special characters in the filename (e.g. ä,ö,%, and others). I'd like a script file to iterate over these files and rename them removing the special characters. I don't really mind what it does, but it could replace them with underscores for example e.g. Störung%20.doc would be renamed to St_rung_20.doc In order of preference: A Windiws batch file A Windows script file to run with cscript (vbs) A third party piece of software that can be run from the command-line (i.e. no user interaction required) Another language script file, for which I'd

I am using WinXP. I use java to generate a list of files. The file will be created as abc.txt.temp at first, and after completing the generation, it will be renamed to abc.txt. However, when i generating the files, some of the files failed to be renamed. It happen randomly. Is there anyway to find out the reason why it failed? int maxRetries = 60; logger.debug("retry"); while (maxRetries-- > 0) { if (isSuccess = file.renameTo(file2)) { break; } try { logger.debug("retry " + maxRetries); Thread.sleep(1000); } catch (InterruptedException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(

is there a way to rename files during the upload progress within the Wordpress 3.0 backend? I would like to have a consistent naming of files, especially for images. I think an 12 (+-) digit hash value of the original filename or something similar would be awesome. Any suggestions? Regards But it would really be easier to do that before uploading files. Not quite sure about that - this seems fairly easy; /** * @link http://stackoverflow.com/a/3261107/247223 */ function so_3261107_hash_filename( $filename ) { $info = pathinfo( $filename ); $ext = empty( $info['extension'] ) ? '' : '.' . $info[

I moved a file using git mv . Now I would like to do a diff on the new file to compare it with the old file (with the old, now non-existent name). How do I do this? You need to use -M to let git autodetect the moved file when diffing. Using just git diff as knittl mentioned does not work for me. So simply: git diff -M should do it. The documentation for this switch is: -M[<n>], --find-renames[=<n>] Detect renames. If n is specified, it is a threshold on the similarity index (i.e. amount of addition/deletions compared to the file’s size). For example, -M90% means git should consider a delete

I'm running this PowerShell command: Get-ChildItem .\tx\*.htm | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.Name -replace '\.htm','.tmp'} and receive the following error when a filename contains square brackets -- [ and/or ] --, understandable since those have a meaning within the PowerShell syntax. Rename-Item : Cannot rename because item at 'Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::C:\users\xxxxx\desktop\tx\ Foofoofoofoo_foo_foo_[BAR]_Foofoofoofoo_foofoofoo.htm' does not exist. At C:\users\xxxxx\desktop\foo002.ps1:59 char:39 + Get-ChildItem .\tx\*.htm | Rename-Item <<<< -NewName { $_.Name -replace '\.htm','.tmp'
