But what if I want to change the name of many files? It will be tedius to invoke mv command for every such file. Is there a more convenient way to rename multiple files at once? - -In Linux, when you want to change a file name, mv command gets the job done. However, mv cannot rename multiple files using wildcard. There are ways to deal with multiple files by using a combination of sed, awk or find in conjunction with [xargs][1]. However, these CLIs are rather cumbersome and not user-friendly, and can be error-prone if you are not careful. You don't want to undo incorrect name change for 1,000 files. - -When it comes to renaming multiple files, the rename utility is probably the easiest, the safest, and the most powerful command-line tool. The rename command is actually a Perl script, and comes pre-installed on all modern Linux distributions. - -Here is the basic syntax of rename command. - - rename [-v -n -f] - - is a Perl-compatible regular expression (PCRE) which represents file(s) to rename and how. This regular expression is in the form of 's/old-name/new-name/'. - -The '-v' option shows the details of file name changes (e.g., XXX renamed as YYY). - -The '-n' option tells rename to show how the files would be renamed without actually changing the names. This option is useful when you want to simulate filename change without touching files. - -The '-f' option force overwriting existing files. - -In the following, let's see several rename command examples. - -### Change File Extensions ### - -Suppose you have many image files with .jpeg extension. You want to change their file names to *.jpg. The following command converts *.jpeg files to *.jpg. - - $ rename 's/\.jpeg$/\.jpg/' *.jpeg - -### Convert Uppercase to Lowercase and Vice-Versa ### - -In case you want to change text case in filenames, you can use the following commands. - -To rename all files to lower-case: - - # rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' * - -To rename all files to upper-case: - - # rename 'y/a-z/A-Z/' * - -![](https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8655/16054304245_bcf9d23b59_b.jpg) - -### Change File Name Patterns ### - -Now let's consider more complex regular expressions which involve subpatterns. In PCRE, a subpattern captured within round brackets can be referenced by a number preceded by a dollar sign (e.g., $1, $2). - -For example, the following command will rename 'img_NNNN.jpeg' to 'dan_NNNN.jpg'. - - # rename -v 's/img_(\d{4})\.jpeg$/dan_$1\.jpg/' *.jpeg - ----------- - - img_5417.jpeg renamed as dan_5417.jpg - img_5418.jpeg renamed as dan_5418.jpg - img_5419.jpeg renamed as dan_5419.jpg - img_5420.jpeg renamed as dan_5420.jpg - img_5421.jpeg renamed as dan_5421.jpg - -The next command will rename 'img_000NNNN.jpeg' to 'dan_NNNN.jpg'. - - # rename -v 's/img_\d{3}(\d{4})\.jpeg$/dan_$1\.jpg/' *jpeg - ----------- - - img_0005417.jpeg renamed as dan_5417.jpg - img_0005418.jpeg renamed as dan_5418.jpg - img_0005419.jpeg renamed as dan_5419.jpg - img_0005420.jpeg renamed as dan_5420.jpg - img_0005421.jpeg renamed as dan_5421.jpg - -In both cases above, the subpattern '\d{4}' captures four consecutive digits. The captured four digits are then referred to as $1, and used as part of new filenames. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -via: http://ask.xmodulo.com/rename-multiple-files-linux.html - -译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) -校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) - -本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创翻译，[Linux中国](http://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 - -[1]:http://xmodulo.com/xargs-command-linux.html \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/translated/tech/20141224 Linux FAQs with Answers--How to rename multiple files on Linux.md b/translated/tech/20141224 Linux FAQs with Answers--How to rename multiple files on Linux.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..24120bd386 --- /dev/null +++ b/translated/tech/20141224 Linux FAQs with Answers--How to rename multiple files on Linux.md @@ -0,0 +1,83 @@ +Linux有问必答-- 如何在Linux重命名多个文件 +================================================================================ +> **提问**：我知道我可以用mv命令重命名文件。但是当我想重命名很多文件怎么办？如果为每个文件都这么做将会是很乏味的。有没有办法一次性重命名多个文件？ + +在Linux中，当你想要改变一个文件名，使用mv命令就好了。然而mv不能使用通配符重命名多个文件。可以用sed、awk或者与[xargs][1]结合使用来处理多个文件的情况。然而，这些命令行即繁琐u又不友好，并且如果不小心的话还很容易出错。你不会想要撤销1000个文件的错误名的。 + +When it comes to renaming multiple files, the rename utility is probably the easiest, the safest, and the most powerful command-line tool.
