Have a bunch of files with the basic naming of:
ztcloud_nfs_parseztaa_1__WGS_7500_001__parse.dat
ztcloud_nfs_parseztaa_1__WGS_7500_002__parse.dat
etc..
I'd like to simply remove the 1st part ztcloud_nfs_parsezt from the
files, renaming the files to the rest of the filename..
Thought it should be simple using rename
rename 's/ztcloud_nfs_parseztaa/aa/' zt*.dat
However, this didn't work... so.. hmm..
Is "rename" provided by util-linux or is it a perl-provided script?
The util-linux syntax is
rename search_for replace_with <files>
while the perl-script syntax is
rename 's/search_for/replace_with/' <files>
