rename Change file names in batches by replacing them with strings

There are two versions of rename command, which are different in usage.

C language version, support wildcard [common wildcard description] ? Represents an arbitrary character * Represents a character or string of arbitrary characters Perl version, supports regular expressions [Common regular expression notation] ^ Match input start position $ Matches the end of the input. Matches any character except newline + Matches the previous character one or more times For example,"zo+" matches "zoo" but not "z" [a-z] Represents a range of characters, for example,"[a-z]" matches any lowercase letter character between "a" and "z." [^m-z] Negative character interval. Matches characters that are not in the specified interval. Method of differentiation: rename --version

If util-linux is included in the returned result, it means the C language version, otherwise it means Perl version

# Perl version| Ubuntu(18),Mint(20) default Perl version $ rename --version /usr/bin/rename using File::Rename version 1.10 # C language version| Centos(7) defaults to C version $ rename --version rename from util-linux 2.23.2 syntax # Perl version rename [ -h|-m|-V ] [ -v ] [ -0 ] [ -n ] [ -f ] [ -d ] [ -e|-E perlexpr]*| perlexpr [ files ] # C language version rename [options] expression replaces character file... Parameters # Perl version-v, --verbose Detail: Print name of successfully renamed file. -0, --null When reading from STDIN, use\0 as the record separator-n, --nono Do nothing: Print the name of the file you want to rename, but do not rename it. -f, --force Overwrite: Allows overwriting of existing files--path, --fullpath Rename full path: Include any directory components. default-d, --filename, --nopath, --nofullpath Do not rename directories: rename only the filename portion of the path-h, --help Help: Print feeds and options. -m, --man Manual: Print manual pages. -V, --version Version: Displays the version number. -e Expression: Code applied to a file name. Code can be built repeatedly (such as "perl-e"). If there is no-e, the first argument is used as the code. -E Statement: Code that performs an operation on a file name, such as-e, but terminates in ';'. # C version-v, --verbose Provides visual feedback on which files, if any, are renamed-V, --version Display version information and exit. -s, --symlink rename on symbolic link target-h, --help Show Help Text and Exit Instance Perl Version Rename 1.txt 2.txt to 1.log 2.log

$ rename -v "s/txt/log/g" 1.txt 2.txt 1.txt renamed as 1.log 2.txt renamed as 2.log modify file suffix

rename "s//.html//.php/" * #Change.html suffix to.php suffix Add file suffix in batches

rename "s/$//.txt/" * #Delete file names in bulk with all file names ending in txt

rename "s//.txt//" * #Remove.txt from all filenames ending in.txt. C version renames 1.txt 2.txt to 1.log 2.log

$ rename -v txt log 1.txt 2.txt `1.txt' -> `1.log' `2.txt' -> `2.log' folder contains these files foo1, …, foo9, foo10, …, foo278

#Renaming files foo1 to foo9 to foo01 to foo09, renaming files only with 4 character names, replacing foo with foo0 in the file name. rename foo foo0 foo? All files # foo01 to foo99 are renamed foo001 to foo099, and only files with 5 character names are renamed, with foo replaced with foo0 in the file name. rename foo foo0 foo?? All files from # foo001 to foo278 were renamed foo0001 to foo0278, and all files starting with foo were renamed. rename foo foo0 foo* #All files from foo0200 to foo0278 are renamed foo200 to foo278, and foo0 in the file name is replaced with foo. rename foo0 foo0[2]* At this point, the study of "how to use Linux rename command" is over, hoping to solve everyone's doubts.
