Maybe basename and dirname commands could help?
$ basename /foo/bar/file.txt
file.txt
$ dirname /foo/bar/file.txt
/foo/bar
So, if you need to rename files with a shell script you could do
something like this:
#!/bin/sh
for f in "$@"; do
base=$(basename -- "$f")
dir=$(dirname -- "$f")
new="whatever-$base" # Some magic to create new name
mv -- "$f" "$dir/$new"
done
The you can have full paths in "$@" and the script handles them just
fine.
