Batch file renaming (for val sake)

[sr320]

Lets say you have something like 16 files as per

zr3616_8_R1_val_1_val_1_val_1.fq.gz

a little

for file in *val*.fq.gz ; do
        mv $file $(echo $file | rev | cut -f7- -d_ | rev).fq.gz
        done

and voila

zr3616_8_R1.fq.gz

TMI

to test, I just played with cut inside the pipe and quick c/p.

rm *fq.gz
touch zr3616_8_R1_val_1_val_1_val_1.fq.gz
for file in *val*.fq.gz ; do
	mv $file $(echo $file | rev | cut -f7- -d_ | rev).fq.gz
	done
ls
