Total commander rename files in folders

I need rename files in my folders.

Each foder contain next files:

1.png

2.png

3.png

I need to rename as below:

1.png > a.png

2.png > b.png

3.png > c.png

Thanks a lot!

Solution

  • Here's what I do from the shell prompt to rename a bunch of files in a PictsFolder.

    Create a file called rename.sh

    #!/bin/bash
cd /Users/jscarry/Desktop/PictsFolder
mv 1.png a.png
mv 2.png b.png
exit

    chmod it to be executable and then run it from the command line. 

    jscarry$ /Users/jscarry/Files/renamePicts.sh

    Be sure to escape special characters like spaces in your file names.

    e.g. File\ Name\ With\ Spaces.png
