Batch remove substring from filename with special characters in BASH

Question

I have a list of files in my directory:

opencv_calib3d.so2410.so
opencv_contrib.so2410.so
opencv_core.so2410.so
opencv_features2d.so2410.so
opencv_flann.so24         


        

Answer 1

Try this in your mv command:

mv "$f" "${f/.so/}"

First match of .so is being replaced by empty string.
