I have a directory with 30 files. Each filename begins with BMRR_ and I want to strip that off, leaving the rest of the name unchanged. There are 5 different extensions on the files.
I've used rename to change file extensions but not characters at the front or middle of filenames. My web searches (after a couple of futile efforts with sed and rename) found a number of suggestions for removing a string within each filename or characters at the end of each file name. I tried modifying each suggestion to remove the 5 initial characters but none worked. There are six sets of five files; one set is: BMRR_Pits.cpg BMRR_Pits.dbf BMRR_Pits.prj BMRR_Pits.shp BMRR_Pits.shx Suggestions needed.
