Copy and rename files applescript or shell script

This shell script should do what you want. Change the first two lines to your file path and, if necessary, a different extension. You can add or subtract country codes as needed.

NOTE: I delete the original file in the last line (rm "$f"), so if you don't want this to happen comment it out or remove.

Ensure you have original files backed-up before trying!

#!/bin/bash

filepath="/Users/path/to/folder/";
extension=".jpg";
countries=('DE' 'ES' 'FR' 'IT');

for f in "$filepath"*"$extension"; do
	filename=$(basename "$f");
	filename="${filename%.*}";
	for c in "${countries[@]}"; do
		cp -v "$f" "$filepath$filename-$c$extension";
	done;
	rm "$f";
done;

Strange. I thought perhaps I had inadvertently modified something when I edited the file here, but I copied and pasted back into my environment and it worked as expected - including filenames with spaces.

Could you cut and paste the version that's giving you the error? (Obscure the username, but ideally keep the filenames intact.)
