To rename files the rename command is more straightforward. Depending on your Linux distribution you may have one of two different flavours of the rename command. What Linux OS are you running on?
I am not in linux at this moment as I am on my PC at home and going into linux from EXCEED. I have 950 files to rename. 560 are in one directory and the rest in another directory.
how do I use awk to rename 950 files in a folder from s-xxx.txt to S-xxx.txt and from SU-xxx.txt to Su-xxx.txt where xx are numbers from 1 to 950.
Thanks
