如何使用终端重命名文件

Question

Can anyone recommend a good solution to recursively remove unwanted letters in file names remove

.720p.BluRay.x264-[YTS.AM]

For example:

 Yellow Submarine (1968) [BluRay] [720p] [YTS.AM]
│   ├── www.YTS.AM.jpg
│   └── Yellow.Submarine.1968.720p.BluRay.x264-[YTS.AM].mp4
├── You Might Be The Killer (2018) [BluRay] [720p] [YTS.AM]
│   ├── www.YTS.AM.jpg
│   └── You.Might.Be.The.Killer.2018.720p.BluRay.x264-[YTS.AM].mp4
├── Your Name (2016) [BluRay] [720p] [YTS.AM]
│   ├── www.YTS.AM.jpg
│   └── Your.Name.2016.720p.BluRay.x264-[YTS.AM].mp4

becomes:

 Yellow Submarine (1968) [BluRay] [720p] [YTS.AM]
│   ├── www.YTS.AM.jpg
│   └── Yellow.Submarine.1968.mp4
├── You Might Be The Killer (2018) [BluRay] [720p] [YTS.AM]
│   ├── www.YTS.AM.jpg
│   └── You.Might.Be.The.Killer.2018.mp4
├── Your Name (2016) [BluRay] [720p] [YTS.AM]
│   ├── www.YTS.AM.jpg
│   └── Your.Name.2016.mp4

Answer 1

Since the string being removed appears to be the same for each file then you can use find and rename to solve this:

find . -type f -exec rename 's/\.720p\.BluRay\.x264\-\[YTS\.AM\]//' '{}' \;

Run that in whatever the base directory is that holds these folders and it should clean the files up.

To test first you can use the -n flag on that rename command to see what it will do if you allow it to act (without the -n flag):

find . -type f -exec rename -n 's/\.720p\.BluRay\.x264\-\[YTS\.AM\]//' '{}' \;
