Thank you
a.ext
b
c.long.sh
and you want to rename them to :
aeng.ext
beng
c.longeng.sh
The following “oneliner” in Mac terminal (bash) It should do this:
for i in *; do name="${i%.*}"; mv "$i" "${name}eng${i #$name}"; done
Explanation:
> for in in *; do – Traverse all file names
> name = “${i%.*}” – Extract the name part before the extension (stripping everything after the last dot)
> mv – Process renaming
> ${name} eng – Add eng to the name
> ${i #$name} – Get the extension (this will remove the name part from the original file name)
Note: If you want to preview what it will do, but do not actually perform the renaming, please enter the “mv Insert “echo” before “. This will print the statement to the screen instead of performing renaming.
I only need to append the string “eng” to the Many file names without changing their extension in MAC TERMINAL. I searched for a long time and I found the mv command to rename files at once. But I don’t know how to implement my scheme. Can any ony guide me?
Thank you
