adding text to filename before extension
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
21
I would like to add text to the end of filename but before the extension. Right now I am trying,
for f in *.shp; do echo $f_poly; done
the output is,
Quercus_acutifolia.shp_poly
Quercus_agrifolia.shp_poly
Quercus_corrugata.shp_poly
Quercus_cortesii.shp_poly
Quercus_costaricensis.shp_poly
Quercus_havardii.shp_poly
Quercus_hemisphaerica.shp_poly
Quercus_kelloggii.shp_poly
Quercus_knoblochii.shp_poly
Quercus_laceyi.shp_poly
I want it to be,
Quercus_acutifolia_poly.shp
Quercus_agrifolia_poly.shp
Quercus_corrugata_poly.shp
Quercus_cortesii_poly.shp
Quercus_costaricensis_poly.shp
Quercus_havardii_poly.shp
Quercus_hemisphaerica_poly.shp
Quercus_kelloggii_poly.shp
Quercus_knoblochii_poly.shp
Quercus_laceyi_poly.shp
bash rename filenames

Using standard POSIX parameter expansion:
for f in *.shp; do printf '%sn' "$f%.shp_poly.shp"; done

Might be better with an explanation how it works. The Doug answer is pretty easy, on the other hand.

@SargeBorsch What do you need explained? My answer, the snippet in the question, and Doug's answer are only differ by a few characters, and Doug's answer explains even less than mine so I don't know what it is you want. If you just compare the difference in the two outputs in the question it should be trivially easy to figure out what they do. I can explain why my answer is preferable to Doug's. 1. I useprintfwith a format string instead of the less portableecho. 2. I use parameter expansion which is more efficient than calling an external binary (basename) for such a simple task.

Of course, it shows you how to use shell expansions to get the new file name, in response to the question that is also outputing a file name (withecho), but not the required one.

If they are in different locations then run :-
for i in ` find /root/test/ -name "*.shp" ` ;
do
mv $i ` echo $i | sed 's/.shp$/_poly.shp/g' ` ;
done

As the question is for bash there is no need for external utilities, since you can use bash regexps:
for i in *.shp
do
mv -v "$i" "$i%.*_MYSUFFIX.$i##*."
done

Of course, it shows you how to use shell expansions to get the new file name, in response to the question that is also outputing a file name (withecho), but not the required one.

This worked better for me:
for f in *; do NEW=$f%.webm_2016.webm; mv $f "$NEW"; done

If they are in different locations then run :-
for i in ` find /root/test/ -name "*.shp" ` ;
do
mv $i ` echo $i | sed 's/.shp$/_poly.shp/g' ` ;
done

As the question is for bash there is no need for external utilities, since you can use bash regexps:
for i in *.shp
do
mv -v "$i" "$i%.*_MYSUFFIX.$i##*."
done
