I need some help with a bash script. Script needs to rename all files in a directory to its md5 sum + extension.
I have found the bash script below, but it needs to be changed so that it will add the extension.
md5sum * | sed 's/^\(\w*\)\s*\(.*\)/\2 \1/' | while read LINE; do mv $LINE; done
This might work for you:
# mkdir temp && cd temp && touch file.{a..e}
# ls
file.a file.b file.c file.d file.e
# md5sum * | sed -e 's/\([^ ]*\) \(.*\(\..*\)\)$/mv -v \2 \1\3/' | sh
`file.a' -> `d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e.a'
`file.b' -> `d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e.b'
`file.c' -> `d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e.c'
`file.d' -> `d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e.d'
`file.e' -> `d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e.e'
Or GNU sed can do it even shorter:
# md5sum * | sed -e 's/\([^ ]*\) \(.*\(\..*\)\)$/mv -v \2 \1\3/e'
I would go this route:
for F in $DIR/*.*; do
mv "$F" "$(md5sum "$F" | cut -d' ' -f1).${F##*.}";
done
Use ${F#*.}
to get everything after the first period, e.g. tar.gz
instead of gz
(depends on your requirements)
find . -type f -exec mv \{\} "`md5sum \{\} | sed 's/ .*//'`.`echo \{\} | awk -v FS='.' '{print $NF}'\"
Or something like this will do :-). Actually, I'd recommend to add a filter to the filenames for the find command as it will fail on files without a .
in their name.
