File renaming
 
i have a repository of files which i want to rename. i have a csv which contains the mappings from the old names to the new names.

e.g:

oldname,newname
123,567
534,127
675,978

is there any utility which would read the mappings from the csv and rename the files accordingly.

Maybe something like this....
Code:
#!/bin/bash

cat file.txt |\
while read i ; do
j=`echo "$i" | awk -F, '{print$2}'`
mv `echo "$i" | awk -F, '{print$1}'` "$j"
done
