I am looking for a freelancer who can write a small script (linux) to rename multiple file names on my Mac/Linux system. The current naming convention of the files is descriptive names, but I want to change it to sequential numbers. There are several folders (374) with several files (5-10) in subfolders. My software can't handle the long names included in the subfolder, e.g. these files names: Fuc(a1-2)[Fuc(a1-2)Gal(b1-3)GlcNAc(b1-3)]Gal(b1-4)[login to view URL] Fuc(a1-2)[Fuc(a1-2)Gal(b1-3)GlcNAc(b1-3)]Gal(b1-4)[login to view URL] Fuc(a1-2)[Fuc(a1-2)Gal(b1-3)GlcNAc(b1-3)]Gal(b1-4)[login to view URL] Fuc(a1-2)[Fuc(a1-2)Gal(b1-3)GlcNAc(b1-3)]Gal(b1-4)[login to view URL] Fuc(a1-2)[Fuc(a1-2)Gal(b1-3)GlcNAc(b1-3)]Gal(b1-4)[login to view URL] Fuc(a1-2)[Fuc(a1-2)Gal(b1-3)GlcNAc(b1-3)]Gal(b1-4)[login to view URL] Fuc(a1-2)[Fuc(a1-2)Gal(b1-3)GlcNAc(b1-3)]Gal(b1-4)[login to view URL] Fuc(a1-2)[Fuc(a1-2)Gal(b1-3)GlcNAc(b1-3)]Gal(b1-4)[login to view URL] need to be changed and the capital PDB removed so they look like this: [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] The string 'A#' string is specified in an excel spreadsheet (A1-A374) Skills and Experience: - Experience working with Mac/Linux systems - Proficiency in file renaming tools or scripts - Strong attention to detail to ensure accurate renaming - Ability to handle a large volume of files (more than 1000) If you have the necessary skills and experience, please submit your proposal.

I can help you with the task of renaming the files on your Mac/Linux system. I'll create a small script to rename the files based on the corresponding values in your Excel spreadsheet. You'll be able to maintain the sequential numbering in the new file names. This will make your files more manageable for your software. Please share the Excel spreadsheet, and I'll provide you with a script tailored to your needs.
