脚本或Java程序来重命名目录中的多个文件

Question

I have a Directory with many sub folders. There are many files in it and I need to rename the files like file_pl.properties to file_en.properties. Can you suggest a script that iterates through the folders and matches the pattern of _pl for a file and renames the file to _en

Answer 1

Use this little gem from the console, it is written using Bash.

for FILE in `find . -name *_pl.properties`;do mv "${FILE}" "${FILE%_pl.properties}_en.properties";done

This code will iterate over every file in a directory and its child directories. Every time it finds a file that ends with '_pl.properties', it will then move (renames) the postfix to _en.properties.

This bash script was tested under Ubuntu and Mac OSX.
