mv

I have part of my script that goes like this: while read line do code=`echo ${line} | awk '{print $1}'` awk -f ${supscript}/rearrange.sh < ${base}/${code} mv temp_output* "$code"temp_output* done < filelist The script is working; the only problem is that when it is trying to rename the file I got the following error message: mv: target `pollcodetemp_output*' is not a directory Maybe it is something related with the IFS. I try to specify this at the beginning of the script as: IFS=' ' But it is not working. I'm using a Windows text editor but I have already removed the CR. Most likely, you just

How can I rename files with "-" in front of the filename, for example: "-0001.jpg" Everyime I try to run: for i in *; do mv "$i" "${i//-/}"; done or: for i in *; do mv "$i" "${i#*-}"; done I got this error: mv: invalid option -- '0' Try `mv --help' for more information. Thanks for any light! mv ./-00008.jpg to/some/where.jpg ^ - start with path... as with most gnu commands, use the -- switch before the filename with the hyphen. it signifies "end of switches". Put a double - before the arguments that can contain "-" in the begin; then there can't be options after --. mv OPTIONS -- ... 来源： https

I often do the command such as: mv folder $something_that_does_not_exist mv files* $something_that_does_not_exist Then, I realise that my files are gone. I cannot see them even in the folder "$something_that_does_not_exist". Where have my files and folders gone? How can I get them back? In order to prevent this problem, I have a habit of always appending a / to the end of directory names when using cp or mv : $ touch foo $ mv foo bar/ mv: cannot move `foo' to `bar/foo': No such file or directory Without the trailing slash, mv does a file rename operation. You may find that your file(s) have

I am trying to rename multiple files with extension xyz[n] to extension xyz example : mv *.xyz[1] to *.xyz but the error is coming as - " *.xyz No such file or directory" Don't know if mv can directly work using * but this would work find ./ -name "*.xyz\[*\]" | while read line do mv "$line" ${line%.*}.xyz done Mikaël Mayer Let's say we have some files as shown below.Now i want remove the part -(ab...) from those files. > ls -1 foo* foo-bar-(ab-4529111094).txt foo-bar-foo-bar-(ab-189534).txt foo-bar-foo-bar-bar-(ab-24937932201).txt So the expected file names would be : > ls -1 foo* foo-bar-foo

I'm trying to rename a bunch of files which contain spaces in them, getting rid of the spaces. I thought I found the correct bash command: for f in *.txt; do mv \"$f\" ${f/ /}; done However, this gives the error, "mv: target is not a directory" for each file. If I replace 'mv' with 'echo mv' in the command, it prints the proper mv command for each file, and if I type any of those mv commands individually, they work. For example, if I have 2 files, "a .txt", and "b .txt", and run the command above, I get: mv: target 'a.txt' is not a directory mv: target 'b.txt' is not a directory If I type the

I am trying to remove a list of specific words from all my files with a certain directory and replace them with nothing. So: This Awesome Content 720p BLAH FOO BANG OOO - 30.9.2013.mp4 Becomes: This Awesome Content - 30.9.2013.mp4 Now the following works great for a single find and replace one word. find path/to/folder/ -maxdepth 3 -name '*.*' -execdir bash -c 'mv -i "$1" "${1//foo/}"' bash {} \; I have also tried just multiple finds but this seems like a very long way of doing it and i seem to run into issues this way. Couple of issues i have: Want it to be case insensitive Need "${1//foo/}"
