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
