I downloaded a bunch of youtube videos and transcripts, and I am trying to rename them using the 11-character youtube ID that is part of the file title. I created a text file where I have on each line the old title, the new title and separated by the character ">"
I am using the following command:
parallel -j 4 --colsep '>' mv "{1}" folder/{2} :::: rename.txt
This only works for 90% of the files. 10% of the files are left behind with an error. I am attaching below some file names that don't work. I am suspecting some characters are mot mv friendly, but I am stuck.
