Removing ";1" from file extension

[kulkarniniraj]

Hello
Help me in writing a shell script cause it's been long time since I used to write shell scripts so i forgot linux commands.

Actually I just downloaded a game setup (which runs on windows).I want to run it through wine on ubuntu.

The problem is that every file in that setup has an extra symbol ';1' after filename eg AUTORUN.exe;1 setup.exe;1 etc. I dont know if windows recognises it but wine is not.

So I want to write a shell script which would remove these 2 extra characters from each filename, recursively from subfolders also.

Can anybody help me please.

for f in *\;1
do
mv ${f} ${f%;1}
done

Note the \ to escape the semicolon, otherwise it assumes a second command on the command line. If the semicolon suffix contains other characters change the 1 to a * in both the for and mv lines.
