I have a folder with lots of files which name has the following structure:
01.artist_name - song_name.mp3
I want to go through all of them and rename them using the regexp:
/^d+\./
so i get only :
artist_name - song_name.mp3
How can i do this in bash?
You can do this in BASH:
for f in [0-9]*.mp3; do
mv "$f" "${f#*.}"
done
Use the Perl rename
utility utility. It might be installed on your version of Linux or easy to find.
rename 's/^\d+\.//' -n *.mp3
With the -n
flag, it will be a dry run , printing what would be renamed, without actually renaming. If the output looks good, drop the -n
flag.
Use 'sed' bash command to do so:
for f in *.mp3;
do
new_name="$(echo $f | sed 's/[^.]*.//')"
mv $f $new_name
done
...in this case, regular expression [^.] .* matches everything before first period of a string.
