Rename multiple files and remove some characters

Sometimes you have to rename multiple files and remove some characters. For instance After compressing images you have multiple jpg files with “min” characters:

file1.jpg -> file1.min.jpg
file2.jpg -> file2.min.jpg
file3.jpg -> file3.min.jpg

In this case we want to remove part of file name – “min.”. In order to do it we will use rename command:

rename s/min\.// *.jpg

This command will remove “min.” from every jpg file (*.jpg). If you want to remove from any file in the directory, type this:

rename s/min\.// *
