Rename PDFs to encode week and lecture number

Open pabigot opened this issue 12 years ago • 0 comments

It's very helpful to have the pdfs in one location, but it would be even better if the week and lecture number prefixed the title so they could be sorted. The following shell code is one way to do the renaming.

for w in 1 2 ; do 
  ( cd week${w}
    for n in 0* ; do
      lnum=$(echo ${n} | cut -c 1-3)
      lnam=$(echo ${n} | cut -c 4-)
      ( cd ../pdfs
         git mv ${lnam}.pdf ${w}${lnum}-${lnam}.pdf )
    done )
done
