Rename files in batch while keeping their index

Primary LanguageShell

batch-renamer

Rename files in batch while keeping their index. This script's only goal is to save copy-paste time when renaming a batch of files.

Instructions

  • Clone it and make the script file executable on Linux.

      chmod +x batch-renamer

  • Run ./batch-renamer and provide the five necessary parameters:

    1. Index character that represents the digits
    2. Original file pattern, including index characters
    3. Processed file pattern, including index characters
    4. Index start
    5. Index end

Usage example:

./batch-renamer XXX originalXXX.txt processedXXX.txt 15 23

This will batch rename all files with filenames like originalXXX.txt to processedXXX.txt where XXX are digits between 015 and 023.
