Hello everybody!
I am trying to find a way under Linux to take files of various names and extentions in a single directory to sequential filenames and not change the extensions.
After some research on the interwebz, part of the script is functioning:
=== Cut ===
## Rename files
cd ./pics
for i in *.*; do
new=$(printf "%04d.*" "${a}") #04 pad to length of 4
mv -i -- "$i" "$new"
((a++))
done
Quick one in ksh, try it for filenames that have no special characters and a single extension (ie no .tar.gz)
## Rename files
cd ./pics
for i in *.*; do
new=$(printf "%04d.*" "${a}") #04 pad to length of 4
mv -i -- "$i" "$new"
((a++))
done
