Simple KSH script for renaming multiple files in a directory

When someone uses a GNU/Linux distro or a Unix-Like OS, sooner or later, there comes the time in this man’s life to write some scripts to make his life easier. One of the basic scripts i always wanted is to have a script to rename multiple files in a directory. With a little googling i could find some, but everything was missing something. So to have a script according to your needs and demands you must write one yourself. The script is not something special, but i thought i should share it just in case anyone needs to get an idea how something like that is done. I chose Korn Shell because it’s the default shell on OpenBSD. ;)

Here’s the script:

#!/bin/ksh

# Rename script 

echo ‘Enter path to rename files: ’ # where do the files to rename rest? ;)  

read path  

echo ‘What file extension you want to rename?’ # jpg,txt etc  

read file_ext  

echo ‘What format should the renamed files have?: ’ # vacations_2012  

read ren_format   

echo ‘Give a number to start numbering the files: ’    

read i   

for file in *.${file_ext}  

do  

  ((i+=1))  

  subname=”${ren_format}_${i}”  

  newfile=”${path}/${subname}.${file_ext}”  

 mv “$file” “$newfile”  

done  

# end of script

The script is tested under KSH and OpenBSD 5.1 beta and works like a charm. ;)

Just started studying common lisp and i really like what i’ve read so far.In contrast to scheme where most of the times you write everything you need,in common lisp you can you use some pre-written code too.I really like both dialects of course for different reasons…

It’s really fun to travel inside the parentheses… ;)
