How to batch rename files and use the file its own name content with Bash

In my example the files had the right content in their name only the position was wrong.

The original files their name were:

The file title - vendor_1.mp3
The file title - vendor_4.mp3
The file title - vendor_22.mp3
The file title - vendor_39.mp3

But afterwards I found this is a difficult way of searching on a vender. Which I do the most.
So, I decided to make a simple rename script to move the vendor to the beginning of the file name and the title to the end of the filename.

This would give the following filenames as result:

vendor_1 - The file title.mp3
vendor_4 - The file title.mp3
vendor_22 - The file title.mp3
vendor_39 - The file title.mp3

I hope you find this useful or that you can modify it for your own use. You can see the tiny script I used below.

#!/usr/local/bin/bash
 
root="/my/files/location"
 
find $root -type f | while read file
do
    filename=${file##*/}
    piece1=${filename%% - *}
    piece2=${filename##* - }
    extension=${filename##*.}
    newfile="${piece2%%.$extension} - ${piece1}.$extension"
    mv "${file}" "${root}/${newfile}"
done

project: www.worldofomnia.com (terminated)

After a long period of time working on this project there is an end in the working together.

The site owner's opinion is that the building goes too slow, since I don't have much time next to my work to finish the last pieces we came at this point to pull the plug. Too bad but still it was a nice project to work for.

The future makes place for a new person to take the project, I wish the new webdeveloper good luck with building the new website for OMNIA, hope you have more time than I had :-)

Ps. I will finish the project on my own time, got some people who really wanted to see how the CMS system works. For more information about this CMS goto the page of Pim.
