Rename Multiple File names Mac/Linux
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I am looking for a freelancer who can write a small script (linux) to rename multiple file names on my Mac/Linux system. The current naming convention of the files is descriptive names, but I want to change it to sequential numbers. There are several folders (374) with several files (5-10) in subfolders. My software can't handle the long names included in the subfolder, e.g. these files names:
Fuc(a1-2)[Fuc(a1-2)Gal(b1-3)GlcNAc(b1-3)]Gal(b1-4)Glc_cluster0_alpha.PDB.pdb
Fuc(a1-2)[Fuc(a1-2)Gal(b1-3)GlcNAc(b1-3)]Gal(b1-4)Glc_cluster0_beta.PDB.pdb
Fuc(a1-2)[Fuc(a1-2)Gal(b1-3)GlcNAc(b1-3)]Gal(b1-4)Glc_cluster1_alpha.PDB.pdb
Fuc(a1-2)[Fuc(a1-2)Gal(b1-3)GlcNAc(b1-3)]Gal(b1-4)Glc_cluster1_beta.PDB.pdb
Fuc(a1-2)[Fuc(a1-2)Gal(b1-3)GlcNAc(b1-3)]Gal(b1-4)Glc_cluster2_alpha.PDB.pdb
Fuc(a1-2)[Fuc(a1-2)Gal(b1-3)GlcNAc(b1-3)]Gal(b1-4)Glc_cluster2_beta.PDB.pdb
Fuc(a1-2)[Fuc(a1-2)Gal(b1-3)GlcNAc(b1-3)]Gal(b1-4)Glc_cluster3_alpha.PDB.pdb
Fuc(a1-2)[Fuc(a1-2)Gal(b1-3)GlcNAc(b1-3)]Gal(b1-4)Glc_cluster3_beta.PDB.pdb
need to be changed and the capital PDB removed so they look like this:
A2_cluster0_alpha.pdb
A2_cluster0_beta.pdb
A2_cluster1_alpha.pdb
A2_cluster1_beta.pdb
A2_cluster2_alpha.pdb
A2_cluster2_beta.pdb
A2_cluster3_alpha.pdb
A2_cluster3_beta.pdb
The string 'A#' string is specified in an excel spreadsheet (A1-A374)
Skills and Experience:
- Experience working with Mac/Linux systems
- Proficiency in file renaming tools or scripts
- Strong attention to detail to ensure accurate renaming
- Ability to handle a large volume of files (more than 1000)
If you have the necessary skills and experience, please submit your proposal.
