Little script that may be helpful to others.
I have several directories, each holding own or more files (with different file extensions!), something like this:
- Somedirectory
- File1.txt
- File2.doc
- AnotherDir
- Banana.png
- 1234.xls
- Somerandomname
- Test1.txt
- Test2.doc
And I watned this as a result:
- Somerandomname (empty dir) - Somedirectory.txt - Somedirectory.doc - AnotherDir (empty dir) - AnotherDir.png - AnotherDir.xls - Somerandomname (empty dir) - Somerandomname.txt - Somerandomname.doc
After some playing with Terminal/Shell (this will probably not work under Windows), this script will do that for all directories in the current directory:
for f in */* ;do fp=$(dirname "$f"); ext="${f##*.}" ; mv "$f" "$fp"."$ext" ;done
Hope this is useful to someone ...
