Change all folder names in a directory tree where the name contains a / (slash)

To change all folder names in a directory tree where the name contains a / (slash) character, you can use Python with the os and shutil libraries to navigate and manipulate the directory structure. Here's a Python script to do that

import os

root_directory = '/media/ebluedipu/9526-9D8C/radiokol'


def rename_folders(directory):
    for root, dirs, _ in os.walk(directory):
        for folder_name in dirs:
            if '/' in folder_name:

                new_folder_name = folder_name.replace('/', '_')

                old_folder_path = os.path.join(root, folder_name)
                new_folder_path = os.path.join(root, new_folder_name)

                os.rename(old_folder_path, new_folder_path)
                print(f'Renamed: {old_folder_path} -> {new_folder_path}')

rename_folders(root_directory)

Replace '/path/to/your/root/directory' with the actual path of the directory where you want to start renaming folders. This script will recursively traverse through all subdirectories and rename any folders that contain a / character by replacing it with another character (in this case, _). You can modify the replacement character as needed.
