MacOS – is it possible to batch rename from a list, using a bat file like rename filename.txt newfilename.txt

For example save this file as filenames.txt:

apple
banana
orange

Then run:

a=($(<filenames.txt));for d in *;do i=0;for f in $d/*;do echo mv $f $d/${a[i++]}.jpg;done;done

Remove echo if the output looks right.

If the file names contain spaces, add IFS=$'\n'; to the start and add double quotes around the variables.

To use the following method, you will need to install wget.

Make a file with the extension .sh in the same directory as your file containing the links and add this text to it:

mkdir ~/Desktop/download

while read line; do wget -E -H --directory-prefix=/Users/username/Desktop/download -k -p $line; done < file.txt

cd ~/Desktop/download

Make sure to edit the script and change username to your username

This reads file.txt for the URLs and runs the wget command multiple times with all the links one-by-one and saves them to a folder named download on your desktop.

Run it in terminal with ./script.sh or whatever you named it. If it shows Permission Denied, then run chmod a+x script.sh
