debian rename regex to alter filename
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
sort of stuck here. I have pictures in a directory on debian (stretch, rename installed; with nextcloud running on it) with photos from one skiing trip, taken from my phone (Android Moto G5, filenames IMG_20190202...) and my girlfriend's phone (iPhone 5, filenames 19-02-02...). Since nextcloud can't sort by exif-data, it makes sense to have a constant photo-naming scheme to sort by this (and thereby by date). I figured I'd like to use rename , but can't figure out how to reach the following:
19-02-02 16-05-45 4094.jpg => IMG_20190202_160545 4094.jpg
(the suffix number, e.g. "4094", is supposed to stay to see at first glance who took the picture)
problems:
a) insert IMG_20 where there is none. This already throws me off, since rename -n 's/[^IMG_]/IMG_20/' 19-02-02 16-05-45 4094.jpg produces IMG_209-02-02 16-05-45 4094.jpg (with the 1of 2019missing). How do alter the replacement to include the first character it finds?
b) remove all occurences of - and replace the first spacewith -. No idea how about to do this...
Any help is appreciated!
EDIT:
I have found sort of a solution. But it consists of three steps (and a fourth one is needed, I'm afraid):
1) rename -n 's/^([^IMG_])/IMG_20$1/' *.jpg
2) rename -n 's/-//g' *.jpg
3) rename -n 's/ /_/' *.jpg
NEW PROBLEM: nextcloud (or windows explorer) still doesn't sort correctly, since the images taken by the Moto have 3 digits added to the TIME, e.g. a picture taken at 13h06min47sec. is called ...130547123.jpg. This is a larger number than ...200510... for example (a picture taken on 20h05min10sec), hence it is listed later. So I need a regex to delete the three digits in pos. 20,21,22 in these files! But in the iPhone pictures, this would delete the four digit group that makes it possible to distinguish between pictures taken by the Moto and pictures taken by the iPhone... :-(
