Renaming subtitle problem

[suadnovic]

I have a lot of subtitles for
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0297494/

which I wish to upload and next problem:
subtitles have names like
Aqua Teen Hunger Force - 01x01 - Rabbot.DVD-Rip .English.updated.Addic7ed.com.srt
Aqua Teen Hunger Force - 01x02 - Escape From Leprauchpolis.ABN.Spanish.C.updated.Addic7ed.com.srt
and as I noted, opensubtitles.org doesn't allow advertisements, so I wish to rename files to
Aqua Teen Hunger Force - 01x01 - Rabbot.DVD-Rip .English.srt and
Aqua Teen Hunger Force - 01x02 - Escape From Leprauchpolis.ABN.Spanish.srt
but this is lot of boring job. How to this at once for all subtiles? Some bat file maybe? Or some application like Bulk Rename Utility which I have, but not able to do this job.

If you have a bash-like shell you can use this script. Do it under your own responsibility.
You can try it in a temporary directory first. I'm not an expert in BASH but I think it works.
Bad luck if you use windoze. You can try http://www.mingw.org

It will delete all characters after the word "updated".

Code: Select all

IFS="" for file in *srt; do newname=$(echo $file|sed 's/\.updated.*/.srt/') mv "$file" $newname done

But I think rename could do it as well:

Code: Select all

rename 's/\.update.*/.srt/' *.srt
