Hello,
Try something like this: rename 's/(.*?)\s(\d+).jpg$/$1$2.jpg/' *.jpg
But make a backup first.
Best regards,
Mike

I have several hundred *.jpg files with this pattern
Actual example:
'AtlantaVisitAndGrandmaHands 056.jpg'
The numbers vary, of course, but the alpha part and number of digits
after the space is the same in all *.jpg files
I have hundreds of these all in one directory. Not something you'd
want to do one at a time.
I tried to figure a way using the perl `rename' tool found in many linux
distro's repos
But couldnt figure out the necessary syntax from Larry Wall's examples
in the rename man page. Using the "s///" operators , it's probably
there some how but my pea brain isn't seeimg it.
bash has just used the apostrophes to make the names usable but
I would much rather remove the space.
