Click the Select all button. Quick tip: Alternatively, you can also use the Ctrl + A keyboard shortcut to select all files. You can press and hold the Ctrl key and then click each file to rename. Or you can choose the first file, press and hold the Shift key, and then click the last file to select a group.
You should be using the command substitution syntax $(command) when you want to execute a command in script/command. name=$(echo "$filename" | cut -f 1 -d '. ')
To delete multiple files at once, use the rm command followed by the file names separated by space. When using regular expansions, first list the files with the ls command so that you can see what files will be deleted before running the rm command.
Alternatively, head to the folder containing the files you want to delete, hit Shift + Right Click, and select Open a command window here. Then input "del [filename]" and press Enter.
First of all use 'sed -e' instead of '\e'
And I would suggest you do it this way in bash
for filename in *.fasta; do
[ -f "$filename" ] || continue
mv "$filename" "${filename//test.extra/}"
done
Try rename "extra.test" "" *
Or rename 's/extra.test//;' *
$ find
./extra.test-eggs.txt
./extra.testbar
./fooextra.test
./ham-extra.test-blah
$ rename "extra.test" "" *
$ find
./-eggs.txt
./bar
./foo
./ham--blah
I know this tread is old, but the following oneliner, inspired from the validated answer, helped me a lot ;)
for filename in ./*; do mv "./$filename" "./$(echo "$filename" | sed -e 's/test.extra//g')"; done
Try the rename command:
rename 's/test.extra//g' *.fasta
$ mmv '*test.extra*.fasta' '#1#2.fasta'
This is safe in the sense that mmv will not do anything at all if it would otherwise overwrite existing files (there are command-line options to turn this off).
// EXTENSION - File extension of files
// STRING - String to be Replace
for filename in *.EXTENSION;
do [ -f "$filename" ] || continue;
mv "$filename" "${filename//STRING/}";
done
