one of the most common file management tasks that you will do on your linux system is renaming files and renaming a single file is rather a simple task most people know how to do this both at the command line or in your graphical file manager but what happens when you need to do more advanced fall renaming activities for example bulk file renaming or maybe you want to do some fall renaming on search patterns and regular expressions and things like that well today i'm going to show you several methods for doing file renaming all of these methods i have used in the past so let me switch over to my desktop and let me go ahead and open a terminal and let me zoom way in here and let me switch to the bash shield because by default my terminals open up in the fish show and i may do a little bit of simple scripting so it's good for me to go ahead and just switch over to bash now i am in my home directory ls my home directory and what i want to do is i want to create a test directory to play around in so i'm going to run mkdir space test for make directory test and now i've made that directory let me cd into test if i do a ls of course it's an empty directory let me clear the screen so now what i want to do is i want to create a bunch of files that we can play with and do some renaming stuff with so i can use the touch command to do something like touch space one dot txt to dot txt or you know whatever but if i'm going to create 10 100 1 000 files that would be tedious a better way if i'm going to do consecutive numbers would be to do something like sequence 10 and it gives me a sequence of numbers 1 through 10. what i could do is i could just pipe that into x arg so i'm going to do xr space dash capital i space the opening and closing curly braces space and then the command to actually create those files which again is the touch command so i'm going to do touch space and then the opening and closing curly braces dot txt so that should create 1 through 10 dot txt for us and let me ls just to verify now the most basic renaming of a file is renaming a single file and typically what most people would do is they would use the move command mv so you could do mv for move space the file you want to move so in this case i'll move 1.txt so i'm going to move it to a file that doesn't exist just give it a name that doesn't actually exist like 11.txt and what it does it moves 1.ext to 11.dxt it essentially...
