mass renaming script


can anyone help me with either a simple shell script, c, or c++ program to take files from a digital camera labeled (IMGXXXX.JPG) and reverse the order of how they are numbered?

Well, one way is to create a list of your files in order eg
ls -1 |sort >sort.dat
then a list in reverse
ls -1|sort -r>rsort.dat
then a script eg in shell to open each file and read through both files, renaming fileN in sort.dat to fileN in rsort.dat.

Code:
ls IMG*.jpg | awk '
{
  files[++c] = $0
}
{ d=c }
END {
  for (i=1;i<=c;i++) {
    revfile = files[d--]
    if ( revfile == files[i] ) exit
    # this part do the swapping
    cmdtemp = "cp " files[i] " temp "    
    mvcmd = "mv " revfile " "files[i] 
    mvback = "mv temp " revfile
    system(cmdtemp)
    system(mvcmd)
    system(mvback)
  }
}'

perl?

notice, this only prints the command, doesn't execute it.
do it like this...
perl_script.pl > output

then you can review if it's what you want and then simply go...
sh output
to execute.

I use this technique a lot, as:
1. you can check it first.
2. you have a record of what has been done.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

@ARGV = <IMG*>;

$count = "0000" . ""; # force to string, so we don't lose the zeroes
foreach $_ (reverse @ARGV) {

    $file = $_;
    $count++;
    $file =~ s/\d.*//g;  # remove from digits to the end

    print "mv $_ ",  $file . $count . ".jpg\n";
}

Code:
bash <(paste <(printf "cp %s\n" IMG*.JPG|sort -nk4,7) <(printf "_%s\n" $(ls IMG*.JPG|sort -rnk4,7)))
for f in _IMG*.JPG;do mv "$f" "${f#_}";done

Code:
files=(IMG*)
for (( n=0; n<${#files[@]}; n++ )); do 
    mv ${files[n]} ${files[${#files[@]}-$n-1]}.tmp; 
done
rename .tmp '' *.tmp
files=(IMG*) puts the filenames in an array. The size of the array is ${#files[@]}. The last index is ${#files[@]} -1 because the array starts with 0.

With zsh:

Code:
set -- IMG<->.JPG(On)                                      
max=${1//[^0-9]}                                           
autoload -U zmv
zmv -fQ 'IMG(<->).JPG(n)' '_IMG${(l:4::0:)$((max--))}.JPG' 
zmv '_IMG(*).JPG' 'IMG$1.JPG'

Right,
given the filename format
the sort is superfluous

might be, might be not . The "best solution" ( note: double quotes ) is what the OP choose to be, to him. Not to us.

Yes, neat . . . and said with such confidence too.

You just know that hex string will bug me until I've found the perl to translate it don't you! Hopefully others too.

ho ho!
you started it,

here's a clue


hex_read.pl
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -n

tr/0-9a-fA-F//cd;
print pack "H*" , $_;
hex_write.pl
Code:
#!/usr/perl -ns
BEGIN {
    warn "-chomp to ignore new line characters\n" unless $chomp;
    warn "-neat for nice easier spacing\
 (hint: finish off with 'fmt' command)\n" unless $neat;
 warn "\n";

}
chomp if $chomp;
@L =  unpack("H2" x length($_), $_) ;
print $neat? "@L\n":@L;
binary_read.pl
Code:
#!/bin/perl -n

tr/01//cd;
print pack "B*" , $_;
binary_write.pl
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -ns
BEGIN {
    warn "-chomp to ignore new line characters\n" unless $chomp;
    warn "-neat for nice easier spacing\
 (hint: finish off with 'fmt' command)\n" unless $neat;
}
chomp if $chomp;
@L = unpack "B8" x length($_), $_ ;

print $neat? "@L\n":@L;

More than enough Perl features in your scripts to get me started. Time to dig out my books and use the resources around me. Thanks.

Hey BB, I'm not sure
@ARGV = <IMG*>;
guarantees the list will be in order... Also, you need a separate output dir, otherwise when file eg A1 moves to eg A4, you've lost A4 before you can move it to A1 (assume basic list is A1, A2, A3, A4 etc)
