I have a directory full of files like this:
Joe Schmidt Kapitel 10 - Teil 7.mp4&content_uid=359&hash=8353ee953b9bb79cebf58cc46d7dc085&random=190644109
A bunch of web stuff got kept on the end when downloading them, now I'd like to remove it like so:
Joe Schmidt Kapitel 10 - Teil 7.mp4
I'm on macOS, have the rename command, etc.
I tried the following but it didn't work so well:
$ rename --verbose 's/\&\w*//' *
'Joe Schmidt_ Kapitel 10 - Teil 7.mp4&content_uid=359&hash=8353ee953b9bb79cebf58cc46d7dc085&random=190644109' renamed to 'Joe Schmidt_ Kapitel 10 - Teil 7.mp4=359&hash=8353ee953b9bb79cebf58cc46d7dc085&random=190644109'
rename --verbose 's/\&\.*//' *
didn't work either.
And since there are multiple ampersands -- I want to kill everything after the first ampersand -- I can't even use cut:
for i in $(find . -type f)
do
mv "$i" `echo $i | cut -d "&" -f1`
done
produces:
mv: rename ./Joe to ./Joe: No such file or directory
mv: rename Schmidt_ to Schmidt_: No such file or directory
mv: rename Kapitel to Kapitel: No such file or directory
mv: rename 10 to 10: No such file or directory
mv: rename - to -: No such file or directory
mv: rename Teil to Teil: No such file or directory
mv: rename 7.mp4&content_uid=359&hash=8353ee953b9bb79cebf58cc46d7dc085&random=190644109 to 7.mp4: No such file or directory
