Adding directory name to filename

[Matt Eskes]

What I would personally do is something like this: say the file is
in /home/user/media/file right? Well I would do it like so...
home.user.media.file since you cannot have a file name in with slashes,
either a slash nor a backslash. This method is currently in use within
Ubuntu be means of the app armor profiles located in /etc/apparmor.d


just my 2 cents.

Hello all,

I'm looking for a way to rename a bunch of files. I've searched but I
haven't found any references on what I would like to be doing. Maybe
there isn't a way to do what I am thinking.

I would like to rename files by adding the directory name where a
particular file is located to the filename. So in a situation like this,
where I have:

/A/B/1.txt
/A/B/2.txt
/A/C/1.txt
/A/C/2.txt


I would like to have all the *.txt files renamed to reflect which
directory they are in like so

/A/B/B1.txt
/A/B/B2.txt
/A/C/B1.txt
/A/C/B2.txt

Have anyone ever done this before? Can anyone recommend a good way to do
this? I have a bunch of files that I need to do this so it would be good
to find an elegant solution.

Thanks in advance.

Sam
