I am trying to automate the converting images to specified tif formats. I have it converting just fine, but am also needing to add "_GS" at the end of the file name and before the extension to each file converted. Below is what I have but have had no luck finding a solution to add "_GS" to the file name. Thanks in advance for any help.
for f in "$@"
do
echo "$f"
/usr/local/bin/mogrify -density 300 -resize 1000x1000 -type grayscale -define tiff:endian=msb -compress LZW -format tif "$f" [0]
done
Item 1: With Image Magick, to create a new file instead of overwriting an existing one, use convert
, not mogrify
(magick convert
with newer versions of IM).
Item 2: You can use shell parameter expansion to remove the extension, and then build the new filename from that and the new suffix:
for f in "$@"
do
echo "$f"
/usr/local/bin/convert "$f" -density 300 -resize 1000x1000 -type grayscale \
-define tiff:endian=msb -compress LZW -format tif "${f%.*}_GS.tiff"
done
${variable%pattern}
returns the expansion of variable
with the shortest match of pattern
removed from the end.
