add folder name to filename

[Nikolaos A. Patsopoulos]

Hi,

I have
the following structure of folders and files:

..
folder1
        file1
        file2
folder2
        file1
        file2
.....

and want to add the folder name into the filename:


folder1
        folder1_file1
        folder1_file2
folder2
        folder2_file1
        folder2_file2

I used the following script but doesn't work under cygwin:

for file in folder*/*; do
     dir=$(basename $(dirname $file) )
     base=$(basename $file)
     mv $file $(dirname $file)/${dir}_${base}
done

Does anyone has a suggestion or where I should look?


Thanks in advance,

Nikos
