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\#

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
