# Replaces EN with UK in the names of all *.srt files in the current working directory. | |
# Assumes that there is only one EN in each name. | |
# | |
# IDEA | |
# ------------- | |
# For all *.srt files that have EN somewhere in their name ($x) | |
# Store everything before EN as $prefix | |
# Store everything after EN as $suffix | |
# Rename each file $x with $prefix + UK + $suffix | |
# | |
# EXAMPLE | |
# ------------- | |
# C019-Videos-ProfStef-EN-V2-HD_720p_4Mbs-3.srt | |
# C019-W1S-Videos-ColoringExpression-EN-CM-v3-HD_720p_4Mbs-2.srt | |
# ... | |
# C019-Videos-ProfStef-UK-V2-HD_720p_4Mbs-3.srt | |
# C019-W1S-Videos-ColoringExpression-UK-CM-v3-HD_720p_4Mbs-2.srt | |
for x in *EN*.srt; | |

prefix=${x%EN*}; | |
suffix=${x#*EN}; | |
mv $x $prefix\UK$suffix; | |
