Renaming files based on Folder Names

[Fluke667]

I want Rename mp4 files in my Subfolders, the filename should be same as the folder Name after renaming...

This is my Command:

ls */*.mp4 | awk -F'/' '{print "mv " $0 " ./" $1 "_" $2 }' | bash


FolderA/MovieA.mp4 >>> FolderA.mp4
FolderB/MovieB.mp4 >>> FolderB.mp4
FolderC/MovieC.mp4 >>> FolderC.mp4



But it does not work if the folder or filesnames got a Bracket or Space or other special chars, what can i do?

bash:

Code: Select all

for i in *.mp4; do
    mv "$i" "${PWD##*/}_$i"
done

(not tested. needs to be run inside the folder containign the videos)
