Rename files in directory with some prefix to remove the prefix

removeprefix.sh

# It doesn't seem to work if you put the prefix in quotes.
# The wildcard expansion doesn't pan out.
for file in The\ prefix\ *; do
  mv "$file" "${file#The\ prefix\ }"
done

# You can do this inside instead if you want to remove 
# a suffix.
mv "$file" "${file%\ the\ suffix}"
