Renaming files by extracting parts of filenames that match with a pattern












0














I want to know which command I can use to rename files like this.



Let's say, for instance, the old filenames are:



0_predict-1-500.png
0_predict-2-500.png
0_predict-3-500.png
1_predict-1-500.png
1_predict-2-500.png
1_predict-3-500.png
2_predict-1-500.png
...so on...


What I am expecting is to extract them with the format like {filename}_predict-{times}-{rounds}.png, then I can replace it into another pattern, for example, {filename}.png-result-{times}.png.



So, the aforementioned filenames will be changed to match the pattern:



0.png-result-1.png
0.png-result-2.png
0.png-result-3.png
1.png-result-1.png
1.png-result-2.png
1.png-result-3.png
2.png-result-1.png
...so on...


Does anyone has the Linux command/tool to do thing like this?
I don't wanna write the Python script to complete this.
