Added output clarification

| Feb 6, 2018 at 21:13 | comment | added | Trailing Penguin | Yeah, sorry that I'm not being very clear. This is my first post and I honestly wasn't sure how exactly what I wanted because I wasn't sure what I could expect. I actually DO want the files to be renamed, so I'll edit my post to reflect this and give a example of what I would want at as a final product. Thanks for bearing with me! | |

Well, that’s kind-of my point. By saying identifier_desiredName.m instead of identifier_RestOfName.m, they made francois P and me believe that they wanted the files renamed, and since they don’t show the result they want, they left it ambiguous.

And using a filename of identifier_desiredName.m is not a very clear way of saying that you want identifier_desiredName.m to be renamed to desiredName.m in the identifier directory.

I took the liberty of expanding your example to match your description. If my edit is wrong, fix it — but also fix or clarify your statements “I’ve got directories with multiple files” and “Each directory has about 3-5 files with the same identifier and about 150 files total” (now deleted). But this raises the question: Do you want an identifier1 directory at the top level, or do you want dir1/identifier1 and dir2/identifier1?

Improved formatting; expanded example.

Do not respond in comments; edit your question to make it clearer and more complete. Also, try to solve this yourself and tell us what you tried and what happened. | |

how about visualizing your issue? (for ex. tree <your dir>)
