I need to rename all files with .js extension, but names of files can vary, for example:
rootDirectory
--firstDirectory
----first.js
--secondFileDirectory
----second.js
--thirdDirectory
----third.js
Needs to be renamed to
rootDirectory
--firstDirectory
----newName.js
--secondFileDirectory
----newName.js
--thirdDirectory
----newName.js
Is there a way to do it?
I'm using Ubuntu 14.04
Ububtu 14 has a version of find that has the -execdir option, so this becomes relatively simple:
find . -name '*.js' -execdir mv -i {} newName.js \;
For example, I have this tree:
./A
./A/first.js
./B
./B/second.js
I run the command
$ find . -name '*.js' -execdir mv -i {} newName.js \;
The resulting tree:
./A
./A/newName.js
./B
./B/newName.js
