In ~/Desktop/a/ , I have folders (with names that have spaces) and txt files in the form:
100 description, 100_notes.txt,
200 description, 200_notes.txt
What I would like:
100 description, 100 description.txt,
200 description, 200 description.txt
This is the script so far:
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/Desktop/a/
for i in *; do
mv "$i/$f%.txt” "$i.txt”;
done
I'm trying it with test files, and it returns error:
mv: rename 100 description/” 100 to description.txt”: No such file or directory
bash

Looks like you are using the wrong quotes. You appear to have the correct open quote and the wrong close quote (both should be the same).
