Hi there,
I have a bunch of files that I want to rename:
123.someword.doc > 123.doc
456.someword.pdf > 456.pdf
The "someword" is consistent in all the files and they need to be renamed recursively.
Something like this but with a different regex:
# This is for a completely different file name structure
find . -name '123*.txt' -type f -exec bash -c 'mv "$1" "${1/\/123_//}"' -- {} \;
...sorry regex is a shortfall of mine.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Piers
