I have over 1,000 files that I will like to change one character on the filename, Ex: GM001001, GM001002, GM001003, etc.. to be rename to GX001001, GX001002, GX001003, etc... As you can see the common denominator will be the M to be replace for an X.
You can combine mv with string replace to achieve this:
for f in $(ls)
do
mv $f ${f/GM/GX}
done

I have lots of folders with the same file name, like:
fd1/01.wh.txt
ff2/01.wh.txt
fk2/01.wh.txt
fd3/01.wh.txt
I want to extract 01.wh.txt from these different directories, and get a new folder including all 01.wh.txt with the specific parent code:
new_folder/
fd1.01.wh.txt
ff2.01.wh.txt
fk2.01.wh.txt
fd3.01.wh.txt
How to execute the code in the Linux system?
Try this..
for i in find . -name "*.txt"; do echo $i; fname=echo $i|sed 's/\//-/g'; echo $fname; cp $i ./newdir/$fname; done

I want to delete a #tem.txt# called # that for some reason using emacs appeared
is between two # and I have not been able to remove it using rm, rm -f, unlink
See my file
Since '#' is a special character, you can try rm \#tem.txt\#

If I have a directory name '1' (without quotes) and want to copy that directory (with its contents) to many directories name '2' to '70', how do this using Linux commands?
so, each copy will only do once, but (in bash at least)
for x in $(seq 2 70); do cp -r 1 $x; done
should do it

I want to iteratively compare two directories, A and B, under Linux using:
diff -r ./A ./B
but I want to ignore some subdirectory names, e.g. a subdirectory called "svn".
How do I do it under Linux?
You can write:
diff -r --exclude=svn ./A ./B
