Renaming File in Specific Pattern

[Fuad_1]

Hi,

I have some files names starting with ERRF.XYZ, I want to move them to another directory with new names excluding the first 5 chars ERRF.. Can you help writing a script doing this stuff.

[Alan Turner · Accepted solution]

cd directory_with_files

for i in ERRF.*
do
if [ -f "$i" ]
then
newname=${i#ERRF.}
/usr/bin/mv $i another_directory/$newname
fi
done
