| 17:17.35 | jfbourdeau | good morning / afternoon |
| 17:17.52 | jfbourdeau | Anyone here have time and is good with scripting ? |
| 17:18.11 | jfbourdeau | need to create a script to rename hundreds of files in a directory |
| 17:27.28 | Naglfar | hello jfbourdeau |
| 17:27.56 | Naglfar | what files the script should rename ? |
| 17:28.02 | keyra | if nobody answers you, I suggest to try the new Elive Forums, they are much more active! :) |
| 17:30.19 | jfbourdeau | hello, Naglfar |
| 17:30.36 | Naglfar | :) |
| 17:30.38 | keyra | :) |
| 17:30.39 | jfbourdeau | I am presently googling for already made tools (there are several) but what I need is |
| 17:31.19 | jfbourdeau | a script that find a word in the files and if the word is there, rename the file |
| 17:31.36 | jfbourdeau | 1551836057108_12_13945_3407.ofilter1.lastspam.com to something like 0_0_13945_3407.ofilter1.lastspam.com |
| 17:32.04 | jfbourdeau | so grep of a string within files in a directory and if found rename the file |
| 17:32.28 | jfbourdeau | I am presently trying existing tools... as I am not good with awks, sed and so on |
| 17:33.00 | Naglfar | first try some like this: |
| 17:33.16 | Naglfar | ls | grep "wordtomatch" |
| 17:34.10 | Naglfar | for example |
| 17:34.21 | Naglfar | ls | grep "ofilter1.lastspam" |
| 17:34.32 | jfbourdeau | thnar has something thast seem to not be too bad thunar -B |
| 17:34.44 | jfbourdeau | it would be manual but BULK at least |
| 17:34.57 | jfbourdeau | thunar |
| 17:35.19 | Naglfar | thunar Bulk Rename is really good |
| 17:38.20 | jfbourdeau | may be you can help me with something simple |
| 17:38.26 | keyra | if nobody answers you here please use our forums which are more active: https://forum.elivelinux.org |
| 17:38.38 | jfbourdeau | if I want to move all files from a folder that have a specific word in them |
| 17:38.47 | keyra | microsoft says that a folder is something between the desktop and the trash, just in face of the books and pencils, near of the chair... why ppl dont say just directory ? |
| 17:39.01 | jfbourdeau | to another folder |
| 17:39.44 | jfbourdeau | I intend to scp all of them to my station, thunar -B them and send them back using scp |
| 17:40.13 | jfbourdeau | if you're at work or busy Naglfar no worried, I'Ll test and find |
| 17:41.14 | Naglfar | np jfbourdeau, I'm not busy and have no work |
| 17:41.44 | Naglfar | to make a script you have to make each part work |
| 17:42.05 | Naglfar | then, when all parts are ready put them into an script.sh file |
| 17:42.13 | jfbourdeau | :-) |
| 17:42.16 | jfbourdeau | I'll play |
| 17:42.19 | jfbourdeau | https://www.ostechnix.com/how-to-rename-multiple-files-at-once-in-linux/ |
| 17:42.29 | jfbourdeau | probably will use mmv (1st one) |
| 17:42.31 | jfbourdeau | tks ! |
| 17:43.46 | Naglfar | you can use: mv |
| 17:44.02 | Naglfar | for both to rename or move files from a folder |
| 17:44.12 | keyra | microsoft says that a folder is something between the desktop and the trash, just in face of the books and pencils, near of the chair... why ppl dont say just directory ? |
| 17:44.13 | Naglfar | mv name newname |
| 17:44.31 | Naglfar | mv folder/file newfolder/file |

| 17:46.34 | Naglfar | jfbourdeau: first, you should see if that matches the files you want to move: ls | grep "ofilter1.lastspam" |
| 18:01.49 | jfbourdeau | yep Naglfar that part is ok / simple for me |
| 18:02.29 | Naglfar | then, if that part is ok, we are going to something with all matching files |
| 18:03.00 | jfbourdeau | your command is more for the filename and not the string within the filename |
| 18:03.14 | jfbourdeau | so the command would be more grep string /folder/* |
| 18:03.23 | keyra | microsoft says that a folder is something between the desktop and the trash, just in face of the books and pencils, near of the chair... why ppl dont say just directory ? |

| 18:05.12 | Naglfar | jfbourdeau, now we are going to put 2 things together: |
| 18:05.40 | Naglfar | MATCH=$(ls | grep "ofilter1.lastspam") |
| 18:05.45 | Naglfar | and |
| 18:05.52 | Naglfar | for i in $MATCHES ; do echo item: $i; done |
| 18:06.10 | Naglfar | sorry |
| 18:06.17 | Naglfar | for i in $MATCH; do echo item: $i; done |
| 18:06.18 | jfbourdeau | grep -lir 'string' ~/directory/* | xargs mv -t DEST |
| 18:06.20 | jfbourdeau | ? |

| 18:06.37 | Naglfar | well |
| 18:06.46 | Naglfar | if you are learning do a step by step |
| 18:07.24 | jfbourdeau | think I'll go with the last one I showed you.... Looks simple (tks to google) |
