mmv can do that. However, I more often end up hacking together a small
regexp, which I then use kinda like this:
files:
a001.png
a231.png
ija231.bmp
Now I'd want to put a _ between the letters and the numbers and also
want to rename them all to .gif
for f in * ; do
new_name=$(echo $f | perl -p -e 's|(\w+?)(\d+)\..*|$1_$2.gif|')
# Or maybe:
# new_name=$(echo $f | perl -p -e 's|([:alpha:]+)(\d+)\..*|$1_$2.gif|')
echo $new_name
done
regexp's are cool ;)
