write a script that will check each folder/directory and rename the folder title if it contains the word section. The folder should be renamed to use the word chapter instead of sectionYour script should be recursive, executing on each directory, subdirectory, and lower subdirectory, until all child directories have been checked and renamed.For example:supersectiondir-->subsectiondir-->lowersubsectiondirshould become:superchapterdir-->subchapterdir-->lowersubchapterdirMy attempt (from directory above supersectiondir):find /c/Users/cmd2/supersection -type d -exec sed -i 's/section/chapter/g' {} \; $ sh renaming.shsed: couldn't edit /c/Users/cmd2/supersection: not a regular filesed: couldn't edit /c/Users/cmd2/supersection/subsection: not a regular filesed: couldn't edit /c/Users/cmd2/supersection/subsection/lowersubsection: not a regular file I am sorry if this is repetitive to the audience.
Build a Renaming Script
shell script
The rename tool is extremely non-portable; there is almost nothing in common between the RHEL/CentOS/Fedora family version of rename and the version found on Ubuntu or Debian.I wrote an answer giving example usage for both versions of rename a while back.You haven't said what OS you're using, so it's hard to be very specificand since this is homework, you should do some work on it yourself so I will not spell out the answer even if you say which OS.However, a couple of tips:sed operates on the contents of a text file; it does not change the name of a file and certainly not the name of a directory.  It cannot be used for that, and that's why you get errors from the command you wrote.You are on the correct track with your find command.I suggest you look up the -name and -iname operators for find as they may come in handy (you don't need to try to rename files that don't match the given pattern).Using -exec with rename (the appropriate version for your OS) is probably the easiest/best solution for this.
