Script to rename 001-005 epiodes

I can across a problem where XBMC was adding episodes to the library incorrectly.

Files like:

show.S01E01-06.XviD-GROUP.avi

were added as two eps instead of as per this example six.

spiff cobbled together this script which renamed this example to:

show.S01E01E02E03E04E05E06.XviD-GROUP.avi

I should point out this was a quick hack for me and this pecific exmaple but it should at least work as a cheat sheet for others in the future.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

ep1=`echo $1 | awk -F '-' '{print $1}'`

ep2=`echo $1 | awk -F '-' '{print $2}'`

prefix=`echo $1 | awk -F 'E0' '{print $1'}`

postfix=`echo $1 | awk -F 'DVDRip' '{print $2'}`

ep1=${ep1:(-2)}

ep2=${ep2:1:2}

for i in `seq $ep1 $ep2`; do

    prefix+=E`printf %02i $i`

done

prefix+=$postfix

echo mv $1 $prefix
