Question

I would like to batch copy and rename all files from a directory, recursively.

I have something like this:

/dir/subdir/file.aa
/dir/subdir/fileb.aa
/dir/filec.aa

and would like all files to be copied as this:

/newdir/1.xx
/newdir/2.xx
/newdir/3.xx
/newdir/4.xx

..
/newdir/nn.xx

How can I do this in bash?

Answer 1

Try sth. like this:

num=0
for i in `find -name "*.aa"`; do
    let num=num+1
    cp $i newdir/$lc.xx
done
