I am pulling a bunch of recordings off my android phone. I found
simple-mtpfs to be able to use 'cp -a' to actually copy the files and
preserve their date information.
Now I want to rename these files, which are all lectures to have the
date of creation/lastmodified in the file name. All my searching has
only found how to put the current date into the file name, I can'f find
anything on using the actual file date.
Can anyone point me to how to do this?
You can get the date/time in any format you like using ls.
ls -lt --time-style=format string
where format string consists of the same rules used by the "date" command.
