利用R语言批量修改文件名file.rename函数

R语言中文件操作的函数有：

file.create(…, showWarnings = TRUE)
file.exists(…)
file.remove(…)
file.rename(from, to)
file.append(file1, file2)
file.copy(from, to, overwrite = recursive, recursive = FALSE,
copy.mode = TRUE, copy.date = FALSE)
file.symlink(from, to)
file.link(from, to)
Sys.junction(from, to)

file.rename()函数使用方法：file.rename(源文件名,修改的文件名)，此处文件名必须为character格式可以用as.character()函数将data.frame等格式转换。

其他用法：

umxRenameFile <- function(baseFolder = "Finder", findStr = NA, replaceStr = NA, listPattern = NA, test = T, overwrite = F) {
    # uppercase = u$1
    if(baseFolder == "Finder"){
        baseFolder = system(intern = T, "osascript -e 'tell application \"Finder\" to get the POSIX path of (target of front window as alias)'")
        message("Using front-most Finder window:", baseFolder)
    } else if(baseFolder == "") {
        baseFolder = paste(dirname(file.choose(new = FALSE)), "/", sep = "") ## choose a directory
        message("Using selected folder:", baseFolder)
    }
    if(is.na(listPattern)){
        listPattern = findStr
    }
    a = list.files(baseFolder, pattern = listPattern)
    message("found ", length(a), " possible files")
    changed = 0
    for (fn in a) {
        findB = grepl(pattern = findStr, fn) # returns 1 if found
        if(findB){
            fnew = gsub(findStr, replace = replaceStr, fn) # replace all instances
            if(test){
                message("would change ", fn, " to ", fnew)  
            } else {
                if((!overwrite) & file.exists(paste(baseFolder, fnew, sep = ""))){
                    message("renaming ", fn, "to", fnew, "failed as already exists. To overwrite set T")
                } else {
                    file.rename(paste(baseFolder, fn, sep = ""), paste(baseFolder, fnew, sep = ""))
                    changed = changed + 1;
                }
            }
        }else{
            if(test){
                # message(paste("bad file",fn))
            }
        }
    }
    message("changed ", changed)
}
