Subject: [gentoo-user] Changing names of LOTS of files, adding to them actually.

Greets,
I ran into a problem. I been downloading a lot of TV shows. I forgot
to put a sort of important part in the names. This is what I have with
the full path:
/data/Movies/TV_Series/Person of Interest/Season 1, Episode 1 - Pilot.mp4
This is what I need it to be:
/data/Movies/TV_Series/Person of Interest/Person of Interest - Season 1,
Episode 1 - Pilot.mp4
Basically, I need to add the name of the show to the name of the file.
They will all be added to the front of the names. They also almost all
contain spaces, which means some fancy footwork with the \.
Is there a way to do this? I have room to copy them to another
directory if needed. I would sort of actually prefer it that way since
if it messes up, I got the originals at least.
Sorry I'm not real good at gawk, sed and all those things. I suspect
those will be used tho. I am familiar with | and grep tho. ;-)
Thoughts?
Dale
:-) :-)
