If you want to test, and use the previous filter, type: mv -test -filter

To carefully find if the commands are performing well, you can type the following: filter fghfilea okĪnd when you are confident that the filter is good, perform the first move: mv fghfilea jklfilea # Even better, automatically infers the file nameįilter fghfilea ok fghreport ok notfghfile notok auto -all -filter 'mv fghfilea jklfilea' filter fghfilea ok fghreport ok notfghfile notok mv -filter fghfilea jklfilea mvįilter fghfilea ok fghreport ok notfghfile notok auto -all -filter fghfilea 'mv fghfilea jklfilea' Other equivalent ways of doing the same (each line is equivalent), so you can choose your favorite way of doing it. Using the previous filter thanks to -filter, it finds a mapping from fghfilea to jklfilea and then applies it on all filtered files. Then using the filter, the mv command is a semi-automatic move which becomes automatic with the modifier -auto. If filter had the option -auto or was invoked alone after this command, it would create a folder ok and a folder notok and push files respectively to them.

It first computes a filter based on examples, where the input is the file names and the output (ok and notok, arbitrary strings). Using StringSolver tools (windows & Linux bash) which process by examples: filter fghfilea ok fghreport ok notfghfile notok mv -all -filter fghfilea jklfilea

Bash rename multiple files
