Renaming multiple files by adding a string to the beginning
rename 's/^/1_/' *
for renaming all files in the current directory
or
rename 's/^/1_/' DATASET*
for renaming all files in the current directory starting withDATASET
in their name
Explanation: the expression s/^/1_/
says: "replace the beginning of the filename (that means this symbol -> ^
)' with 1_
".
You can easily rename all the files in current directory typing (assuming you are using bash):
for i in *; do mv "$i" 1_"$i"; done
obviously take it with care; it will remane ALL the files in the current directory that are 'visible' (filename not starting with a '.')
You can use pyRenamer. It can be found in the Ubuntu software center. The original file pattern should be {X} and the renamed file pattern should be 1_{1}
