Hello,
I wonder if anyone knows how could I rename multiple files, all of them originally named with same structure, and add some data extracted from a mysql DB according to specifics rules.
For example I have 500 files named with this vars:
ID NAME ADDRESS PHONE.wav => 1234567 PAULSIMON WESTDR122 9942213456.wav
Now I need to rename files taking some data from the databases for each file, and append the data from a query appended to the filename.
For example add the data resulting from a query Where some conditions match, and the data to build the query is taked from original file name, as ID or NAME.
i other words, lets say that I want to build a query taking ID & NAME from file 1234567 PAULSIMON WESTDR123 9942213456.wav as WHERE statements to take another value as BirthDATE and add this to new filename, so final result should be:
ID NAME ADDRESS PHONE BIRTHDATE.wav
I will appreciate any help on this.
I need this to be done on a LINUX server.
