This title is a little confusing, so let me break it down. Basically I have a full directory of files with various names and extensions:
MainDirectory/
image_1.png
foobar.jpeg
myFile.txt
For an iPad app, I need to create copies of these with the suffix @2X appended to the end of all of these file names, before the extension - so I would end up with this:
MainDirectory/
image_1.png
[email protected]
foobar.jpeg
[email protected]
myFile.txt
[email protected]
Instead of changing the file names one at a time by hand, I want to create a script to take care of it for me. I currently have the following, but it does not work as expected:
#!/bin/bash
FILE_DIR=.
#if there is an argument, use that as the files directory. Otherwise, use .
if [ $# -eq 1 ]
then
$FILE_DIR=$1
fi
for f in $FILE_DIR/*
do
echo "Processing $f"
filename=$(basename "$fullfile")
extension="${filename##*.}"
filename="${filename%.*}"
newFileName=$(echo -n $filename; echo -n -@2X; echo -n $extension)
echo Creating $newFileName
cp $f newFileName
done
exit 0
I also want to keep this to pure bash, and not rely on os-specific calls. What am I doing wrong? What can I change or what code will work, in order to do what I need?
#!/bin/sh -e
cd "${1-.}"
for f in *; do
cp "$f" "${f%.*}@2x.${f##*.}"
done
