file-rename

Questions about renaming files in Git have been asked before, but I can't work out a solution to my specific problem. I have moved and edited multiple files (I didn't use git mv - unfortunately it's now too late for that). Now I want it so when my colleague pulls from my repository, having made his own edits to those same files (without moving them), it successfully merges my changes with his in the file's new location. To successfully merge, Git clearly needs to know that these are the same files. Is Git clever enough to work this out on its own? It seems hard to believe. And if so, how can I

How can I rename the following files: abc_2000.jpg abc_2001.jpg abc_2004.jpg abc_2007.jpg into the following ones: year_2000.jpg year_2001.jpg year_2004.jpg year_2007.jpg The related code is: import os import glob files = glob.glob('abc*.jpg') for file in files: os.rename(file, '{}.txt'.format(???)) import os import glob files = glob.glob('year*.jpg') for file in files: os.rename(file, 'year_{}'.format(file.split('_')[1])) The one line can be broken to: for file in files: parts = file.split('_') #[abc, 2000.jpg] new_name = 'year_{}'.format(parts[1]) #year_2000.jpg os.rename(file, new_name)

i have a folder with a series of files named: prefix_1234_567.png prefix_abcd_efg.png i'd like to batch remove one underscore and the middle content so the output would be prefix_567.png prefix_efg.png thanks relevant but not completely explanatory: how can I batch rename files using the Terminal? Regex to batch rename files in OS X Terminal In your specific case you can use the following bash command ( bash is the default shell on macOS): for f in *.png; do echo mv "$f" "${f/_*_/_}"; done Note: If there's a chance that your filenames start with - , place -- before them[1]: mv -- "$f" "${f/_*_

I am not being able to check this via experiments and could not gather it from the man pages as well. Say I have two processes, one moving(rename) file1 from directory1 to directory2. Say the other process running concurrently copies the contents of directory1 and directory2 to another location. Is it possible that the copy happens in such a way that both directory1 and directory2 will show file1 - i.e directory1 is copied before the move and directory2 after the move by the first process. Basically is rename() is an atomic system call? Thanks Yes and no. rename() is atomic assuming the OS

What's the best way to rename photos with a unique filename on the server as they are uploaded, using django? I want to make sure each name is used only once. Are there any pinax apps that can do this, perhaps with GUID? Nathan Use uuid. To tie that into your model see Django documentation for FileField upload_to. For example in your models.py define the following function: import uuid import os def get_file_path(instance, filename): ext = filename.split('.')[-1] filename = "%s.%s" % (uuid.uuid4(), ext) return os.path.join('uploads/logos', filename) Then, when defining your FileField
