Remove Text from multiple folder names in fish or bash

Question

have a folder with sub folders. I want to remove [ garbage.com ] from each folder name. I would like to remove the space after the ]

Currently

$ ls 
 
[ garbage.com ] happy  
[ garbage.com ] Sad   
[ garbage.com ] confused  
dog  
cat  
rat  
.....

After script

$ ls  

happy  
Sad  
confused  
dog  
cat  
rat  

I tried the find command but the [] and space are messing me up.

Answer 1

Try the following:

rename "s/\[\ garbage\.com\ \]\ //" -n *

The -n option will only print the planned changes. Remove the -n to actually rename the directories. Note that this will rename not only directories but also files.

To rename only directories, use the following:

find . -type d -exec rename -n "s/\[\ garbage\.com\ \]\ //" {} ";"
