rename is divided into two versions, namely C language version and Perl version

Format of C language version:

rename original string new string file name

Example:

When to modify The files are stored in the file folder in the subdirectory of the current directory. Prepare to replace all files containing linux with unix

(1) Currently in the file folder, the statement is rename linux unix *

(2) Currently in the parent directory of the file file, the statement is rename linux unix file/*

Perl version style:

rename 's/original character String/new string/' file name

Example:

The question is the same as the C language version question

(1) It is currently under the file folder, and the statement is rename 's/linux/unix/' *

(2) Currently in the parent directory of the file file, the statement is rename 's/linux/unix/' file/*

Note: now Basically the Perl version is used
