I have many .xlsx files that look like XXX-A_2016(Final).xlsx and I am trying to write a shell script (bash) that will batch convert each one to csv, but also rename the output file to just "XXX-A.csv", so I think I need a regular expression within my for loop that extracts the first 5 characters of the input string (filename). I have xlsx2csv and I am using the following loop:
for i in *.xlsx;
do
filename=$(basename "$i" .xlsx);
outext=".csv"
xlsx2csv $i $filename$outext
done
There is a line missing that would take care of the file renaming prior to converting to csv.
You can use:
for i in *.xlsx; do
xlsx2csv "$i" "${i%_*}".csv
done
"${i%_*}"
will strip anything after _
at the end of variable $i
, giving us XXX-A
as a result.
