removing periods with a shell script Posted by simulatonofjohn (simulatonofjohn), 13 April 2008 Does anyone out there know of a way for me to remove periods from a group of files without removing the period that delineates the extension. I have had moderate success with removing periods, but cannot seem to do so without removing that danged last one. If anyone can help, I would be very grateful.Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 13 April 2008 Do you mean from the name of the file? Renaming files to a pattern? Which shell?Posted by simulatonofjohn (simulatonofjohn), 13 April 2008 Sorry, I am using a Bash script to remove punctuation and spaces from the filename. for example, if a photo was named "John's Mother 7.4.2002.jpg" the result would be "JohnsMother742002.jpg".Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 13 April 2008 You will probably accuse me of cheating, but this works!Code:
