Can I sequentially rename files in Linux?
As part of some user interface testing I’m involved with on an Ubuntu Linux system, I find myself frequently having to rename groups of files in a sequential manner. That is, I’ll have files like “output mm-dd-yyyy at hh:mm:ss” and need to rename them to “testrun-xx-file-yy”. Is there any way to automate this so I don’t have to go crazy typing?
