problem: you can move a bunch of files to the same directory, but you can't change their names all at once. solution: roughly speaking, i want this feature to appear wherever renames are possible in a gui: i want to be able to rename a bunch of files all at once with (perhaps several different options of) a predictable and useful outcome. -- stig/jato (pts/5) -- Sun Feb 6 -- 20:07:25 -- -- ...ainofstig.ai/vox/pw/200106 > touch foo bar ; mvnum foo bar fubar foo -> fubar-1 bar -> fubar-2 -- stig/jato (pts/5) -- Sun Feb 6 -- 20:07:43 -- -- ...ainofstig.ai/vox/pw/200106 > touch foo bar ; mvnum foo bar fubar foo -> fubar-3 bar -> fubar-4 -- stig/jato (pts/5) -- Sun Feb 6 -- 20:07:45 -- -- ...ainofstig.ai/vox/pw/200106 > rm fubar-* -- stig/jato (pts/5) -- Sun Feb 6 -- 20:07:54 -- -- ...ainofstig.ai/vox/pw/200106 > touch foo.txt bar.txt ; mvnum foo.txt bar.txt fubar foo.txt -> fubar-1.txt bar.txt -> fubar-2.txt -- stig/jato (pts/5) -- Sun Feb 6 -- 20:08:30 -- -- ...ainofstig.ai/vox/pw/200106 > touch foo.txt bar.txt ; mvnum foo.txt bar.txt fubar foo.txt -> fubar-3.txt bar.txt -> fubar-4.txt -- stig/jato (pts/5) -- Sun Feb 6 -- 20:08:31 -- -- ...ainofstig.ai/vox/pw/200106 > touch foo.txt bar.txt bing.c ; mvnum foo.txt bar.txt bing.c fubar foo.txt -> fubar-5.txt bar.txt -> fubar-6.txt bing.c -> fubar-7.c -- stig/jato (pts/5) -- Sun Feb 6 -- 20:09:04 -- -- ...ainofstig.ai/vox/pw/200106 > ls fu* fubar-1.txt fubar-3.txt fubar-5.txt fubar-7.c fubar-2.txt fubar-4.txt fubar-6.txt -- stig/jato (pts/5) -- Sun Feb 6 -- 20:09:09 -- -- ...ainofstig.ai/vox/pw/200106 > rm fu* -- stig/jato (pts/5) -- Sun Feb 6 -- 20:09:17 -- -- ...ainofstig.ai/vox/pw/200106 > wh mvnum mvnum is a function mvnum () { : "mvnum <f1> <f2> ... <name-prefix> -- mass file rename"; perl -e ' $pre=pop(@ARGV); $n=1; foreach $x (@ARGV) { $x =~ m/(\.[^.]+)$/; do { $y = "$pre-$n$1"; ++$n; } until (! -f $y); print "$x -> $y\n"; rename($x, $y); }' "$@" }
