renaming and number padding using directory as guide, help
I need to take a series of image files, all numbered consecuativly, that were recently dumped in a directory and rename them to pieces of the directories path. Assume all directories are structured as this one so that I may use this script to easly sort and rename files.
pt.1 path : /home/shots/pic/seasons/winter/snowy I need the script to recognize pieces of the path as variables to the images new name. pt.2 path : /home/$NAME/pic/seasons/$SEASON/ I then need the file which is named xyxy.1.tif to be named in the following convention pt.3 name : $NAME_$SEASON.0001.tif the number needs to be repadded with 4 digits I have been hacking at it for the past two days and have comeup with a rather large mess and have finally broken down and called out for help. I had it half working in Perl my knowlege of that is even more limited then the BASH shell. Thanks
