I am new to R coding and I am in the process of trying to write code in order to rename a series of pdf files in the same folder:
我是R编码的新手,我正在尝试编写代码,以便在同一个文件夹中重命名一系列pdf文件:
Letter131.pdf
Letter132.pdf
Letter133.pdf
There are likely to be ~1000 files that I will eventually need to rename.
我最终可能需要重命名大约1000个文件。
I would like to rename these files so that they have an "_" between the 2nd and 3rd digits:
我想重新命名这些文件,使它们在2位数和3位数之间有一个“_”:
Letter13_1.pdf
Letter13_2.pdf
Letter13_3.pdf
I have found various answers on renaming multiple files and unfortunately I am unable to re-jig them to work.
我找到了关于重命名多个文件的各种答案,不幸的是,我无法重新对它们进行jig。
One example I have come up with is this:
我想到的一个例子是:
file_names <- list.files(pattern="*.pdf")
sapply(file_names, FUN = function(eachPath){
file.rename(from = eachPath, to = sub(pattern = "Letter13$.pdf", paste0("Letter13_$"), 1:3, eachPath))
})
Is anyone able to help me out on this?
有人能帮我解决这个问题吗?

file.rename
is vectorized , no need to use a loop here:
文件。重命名是矢量化的,这里不需要使用循环:
## insert _ using grouping pattern
TO <- sub('(.*)([0-9][.]pdf)','\\1_\\2',file_names)
## rename a vector
file.rename(file_names , TO)
Example of pattern use :
模式使用示例:
file_names <- c("Letter131.pdf","Letter132.pdf","Letter133.pdf")
sub('(.*)([0-9][.]pdf)','\\1_\\2',file_names)
## [1] "Letter13_1.pdf" "Letter13_2.pdf" "Letter13_3.pdf"
