问题

I know there are a lot of things like this around, but either they don't work recursively or they are huge.

This is what I got:

find . -name "*.so" -exec mv {} `echo {} | sed s/.so/.dylib/` \;

When I just run the find part it gives me a list of files. When I run the sed part it replaces any .so with .dylib. When I run them together they don't work.

I replaced mv with echo to see what happened:

./AI/Interfaces/C/0.1/libAIInterface.so ./AI/Interfaces/C/0.1/libAIInterface.so

Nothing is replaced at all!
What is wrong?

回答1:

This will do everything correctly:

find -L . -type f -name "*.so" -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d '' FNAME; do
    mv -- "$FNAME" "${FNAME%.so}.dylib"
done

By correctly, we mean:

1) It will rename just the file extension (due to use of ${FNAME%.so}.dylib). All the other solutions using ${X/.so/.dylib} are incorrect as they wrongly rename the first occurrence of .so in the filename (e.g. x.so.so is renamed to x.dylib.so, or worse, ./libraries/libTemp.so-1.9.3/libTemp.so is renamed to ./libraries/libTemp.dylib-1.9.3/libTemp.so - an error).

2) It will handle spaces and any other special characters in filenames (except double quotes).

3) It will not change directories or other special files.

4) It will follow symbolic links into subdirectories and links to target files and rename the target file, not the link itself (the default behaviour of find is to process the symbolic link itself, not the file pointed to by the link).

回答2:

for X in `find . -name "*.so"` 
do
 mv $X ${X/.so/.dylib}
done

回答3:

A bash script to rename file extensions generally

  #/bin/bash
  find -L . -type f -name '*.'$1 -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d '' file; do
      echo "renaming $file to $(basename ${file%.$1}.$2)";
      mv -- "$file" "${file%.$1}.$2";
  done

Usage

Create a file e.g. called ext-rename (no extension, so you can run it like a command) in e.g. /usr/bin (make sure /usr/bin is added to your $PATH)
run ext-rename [ext1] [ext2] anywhere in terminal, where [ext1] is renaming from and [ext2] is renaming to. An example use would be: ext-rename so dylib, which will rename any file with extension .so to same name but with extension .dylib.

回答4:

What is wrong is that

echo {} | sed s/.so/.dylib/

is only executed once, before the find is launched, sed is given {} on its input, which doesn't match /.so/ and is left unchanged, so your resulting command line is

find . -name "*.so" -exec mv {} {}

回答5:

if you have Bash 4

#!/bin/bash

shopt -s globstar
shopt -s nullglob
for file in /path/**/*.so
do
 echo mv "$file"  "${file/%.so}.dylib"
done

He needs recursion:

#!/bin/bash

function walk_tree {
    local directory="$1"
    local i

    for i in "$directory"/*; 
        do
            if [ "$i" = . -o "$i" = .. ]; then 
                continue
            elif [ -d "$i" ]; then  
            walk_tree "$i"  
            elif [ "${i##*.}" = "so" ]; then
                echo mv $i ${i%.*}.dylib    
            else
                continue
            fi
        done    
}

walk_tree "."
