I need a help to finish a script to rename a folders and .
eg: my current folders and files like below:
Gideon/gideon_lisha/Gideon_samuel/Gideon_nathan.xml
Gideon/lisha_gideon/Gideon_noah.xml
...
I want a shell command to rename them like below:
Liang/Liang_lisha/Liang_samuel/Liang_nathan.xml
Liang/lisha_Liang/Liang_noah.xml
...
I tied:
#!/bin/bash
path=$1
filename=$2
newfilename=$3
echo "We are finding '$filename' under the folder '$path'"
count=1
for i in `find $path -iname *$filename*`
do
newpath=`echo $i | sed "s/$filename/$newfilename/g"`
sudo mv "$i" "$newpath"
echo "${count}: Renaming $i to $newpath"
let count++
done
but the script will stop to:
Liang/gideon_lisha/Gideon_samuel/Gideon_nathan.xml
because it changed the folder name, so that can not find the next path. I do not know how let the script run from inner to outer instead of running outer to inner.
finally, I found out the anwser:
#!/bin/bash
path=$1
filename=$2
newfilename=$3
echo "We are finding '$filename' under the folder '$path'"
count=1
for i in `find $path -iname "*$filename*" | tac`
do
newpath=`echo $i | sed "s@\(.*\)$filename@\1$newfilename@i"`
sudo mv "$i" "$newpath"
echo "${count}: Renaming $i to $newpath"
let count++
done
really thank @susbarbatus !
