Mv and rename commands can be used for file renaming on Linux systems, where the mv command is also a command for moving files.

1 、 mvmv fromfile tofile

If the file a.txt is named b.txt, it can be mv a.txt b.txt.

Mv can only rename one file at a time, and it is a move command. If tofile already exists, the original file will be overwritten directly, resulting in the loss of the file. Of course there is an option to prompt for existing files, but I said that I really don't use that option very often. Considering these two points, I decided to take a look at rename.

2. Renamerename frompart topart filename or rename's from part to topart filename

If the file a.txt is named b.txt, it can be rename 'a'b'a.txt (this has not been tried, see what others say on the Internet, it is like this. ) it can also be: rename's / ^ a / b _ a.txt

On some systems, you can pass with the former sentence, on some systems, you can pass with the latter one. Two are different, one is C, the other is perl. It is obvious that the latter one is written in a regular expression. Which way to use, you can man rename, in the last line of the manual page to see the version. Since the version of the system rename I am using is Perl, I can only use the latter approach.

The power of rename is that you can use *,? And so on, to modify all qualified file names in batches. When you use mv, you can only write scripts and solve it in a circular way.
