How to fix this command mass renaming files to match a text file
for file in *; do read line; mv -v "${file}" "${line}"; done < /var/www/html/uploads/songs.txt
It works as in changing all 700 files. But it doesn't seem to do it in the correct order. I feel like it's changing the order as it renames them or something I'm not 100% sure.
Here is an example:
First File is:
`/var/www/html/uploads/Music/A.D.I.D.A_S - Live (Korn Live).mp3_Rare_2006_.mp3`
First in the text file that it should be renamed to:
/var/www/html/uploads/Music/A_D_I_D_A_S__Live_Korn_Live__.mp3_Rare_2006_.mp3
Like I said all of them get renamed and a lot of them match. Typically the first and last few. The middle however seems to not stay in the appropriate order and end up getting another files name.
