Subject: Utility or script for renaming files on
|
Comment: Greetings! Does anyone know of a utility or a script for renaming files on a UNIX web server? I've seen several of these types of renaming utilities for Windows, but none for UNIX. I have 10,000 files that I need to rename in a several tier (deep) web site directory. I have the original names/new names and directory paths documented in MS Access tables. If I could find a tool that would automate this renaming process... even if I need to enter each file name to find and replace, I would be tres happy. Any advice? Thanks!!

Reply: (edit)Rachel,
If you could dump your list of filenames to a unix file, it would be a very simple script to process that file to do the renames. Provide a few lines of that file, and it will take just a few minutes to write the script.
