I would like to shorten file name from search?q=opq to opq. For one
file, I did mv command and it works. The question now: how to shorten
the name of many files at the same time.
list of files:
search?q=opq
search?q=odf
search?q=kjl
etc

output
opq
odf
kjl

Thanks

If your shell is zsh (4.0 or above):

autoload -U zmv

zmv 'search\?q=(*)' '$1'
