Greetings!
Does anyone know of a utility or a script for renaming files on a UNIX web server? I've seen several of these types of renaming utilities for Windows, but none for UNIX. I have 10,000 files that I need to rename in a several tier (deep) web site directory. I have the original names/new names and directory paths documented in MS Access tables. If I could find a tool that would automate this renaming process... even if I need to enter each file name to find and replace, I would be tres happy.
Any advice?
Thanks!!
~Rachel

If you have full path of the old location and also that of the new location in a MsAccess table then it is really easy.
Assuming the Table has two field like
OldPath, NewPath
Go to the Query tab and create a new Query...
in the Query Design of the query use the string concatenation like this:
String: "mv " & [[OldPath]] & " " & [[NewPath]]
This will save create the script which could be used in the unix side.
Save the query and export to a flat file and then to unix server and run from the home directory or whereever suitable
Let me know if this way not working
Thanks
