Just a very quick thought (the first that pops into my mind): you could see which are the western characters that appear in the names=2C and then use sed to substitute all non-matching characters with nothing=2C something like: for i in *.jpg=3B do b=3D"`echo $i | sed 's/[^CHAR_SET]//g'`"=3B mv $i $b= =3B done (without forgetting=2C obviously=2C to add . to the CHAR_SET=2C something like: [^a-zA-Z0-9.]=3B if you figure out a less clumsy way=2C please=2C share!!) I'm guessing that the initial 'P123' is just an example=2C or this will horribly backfire. But I'm really=2C REALLY=2C taking a shot in the dark here... (if you already thought of this=2C and it just doesn't work=2C sorry for the useless pitch) > Date: Tue=2C 24 Mar 2009 15:57:51 -0400 > To: questions@freebsd.org > From: david+dated+1238356671.fa5de5@skytracker.ca > CC:=20 > Subject: renaming many Chinese files >=20 > I have hundreds of jpg images where each image is named P123****.jpg > where the **** are chinese characters.
