Suppose I have folder structure like below


01. folder1

  |- 1. video1

  |- 2. video2

  |- 3. video3



02. folder2

  |- 1. photo1

  |- 2. photo2



03. folder3

  |- 1. doc1

  |- 2. doc2

Now I want to rename those files as below


01 folder1

  |- 01 1. video1

  |- 01 2. video2

  |- 01 3. video3



02 folder2

  |- 02 1. photo1

  |- 02 2. photo2



03 folder3

  |- 03 1. doc1

  |- 03 2. doc2

Which means I want to add first 3 character (or any character) of folder name before its own filename (like batch rename).


So what is the command/script to rename it automatically like above?

I have found a python script that is nearly similar to this problem.
So I modified the script as per my need.


This solve the exact problem which I am looking for.


python3 rename.py "/parent/dir/path"



# filename is rename.py(save the file)

import shutil

import os

import sys



dr = sys.argv[1]



for root, dirs, files in os.walk(dr):

    for f in files:

        shutil.move(root+"/"+f, root+"/"+root.split("/")[-1][0:3]+f)

If it shows permission problem, then run


sudo chmod +x rename.py
