S06E03.srt S06E20.srt S06E05.srt what should I do to make the job done in linux terminal? I have installed rename but U get errors using the following:
rename -n 's/(\w+) - (\d{1})x(\d{2})*$/S0$2E$3\.srt/' *.srt

Use the mv command to move files and directories from one directory to another or to rename a file or directory.
A file can be renamed during a move process using the mv command. You simply give the target path a different name. When mv moves the file, it will be given a new name. For example, to move a file named student1.
You forgot a dot in front of the asterisk:
rename -n 's/(\w+) - (\d{1})x(\d{2}).*$/S0$2E$3\.srt/' *.srt On OpenSUSE, RedHat, Gentoo you have to use Perl version of rename. This answer shows how to obtain it. On Arch, the package is called perl-rename.
