Rename Files in CentOS 7: Quick Guide

In CentOS 7, you can use the following method to change a file name:

1. Use the ‘mv’ command to rename a file.
2. For example, renaming a file called file.txt to newfile.txt:
   mv file.txt newfile.txt
3. If the new file name and the original file name are in the same directory, the mv command will simply rename the file. If the new file name is a directory name, the mv command will move the original file to that directory and rename it.
4. Using the rename command:
   rename ‘s/oldfilename/newfilename/’ filename
5. For example, renaming a file named file.txt to newfile.txt:
   rename ‘s/file/newfile/’ file.txt
6. This will replace “file” with “newfile” in the file name.

Please note that the paths and file names in the above commands need to be adjusted based on actual circumstances.
