Hi!
I'm looking for a program or script which will rename mulitple file in a directory and its subdirectories to their timestamp.
For example these files
| Code: |
-rw-r--r-- 1 tam users 66028 2005-01-06 00:04:25.000000000 +0100 std.vcf_4
-rw-r--r-- 1 tam users 66028 2004-12-31 17:48:06.000000000 +0100 std.vcf_5
|
sould be renamed to
| Code: |
-rw-r--r-- 1 tam users 66028 2005-01-06 00:04:25.000000000 +0100 2005-01-06_00:04:25
-rw-r--r-- 1 tam users 66028 2004-12-31 17:48:06.000000000 +0100 2004-12-31_17:48:06

Why not just write a script? Something like this maybe?
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
for OLD in `ls -1`
do
if [ -f "$OLD" ]
then
NEW=`ls -aFlq $OLD | cut -c35-46 | tr " " "_"`
mv $OLD $NEW
fi
done |
It only does the files in the current directory but it'd be easy enough to hack...

Thanks. Here's my script
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
clear
bbdir="/var/tmp/bigbrother/"
rm -rf $bbdir*/C*
c=0
for i in `find $bbdir -name "D*" -type f`; do
let c=c+1
newname=`ls --full-time $i | awk ' {print $6 "_" $7}' | cut -b -19`
dir=${i%/*}
mv "$i" "$dir/$newname.$c"
done
