ls -1 Screenshot_Red_Hat_Entreprise_Linux_2026-02-0*_*:*:*.png

seems ordered.

DuckDuckGo and Google search sed regex number.

The Stack Overflow question 67261968:

Bash script:

fileIndex=0

for file in `ls -1 Screenshot_Red_Hat_Entreprise_Linux_2026-02-0*_*:*:*.png`
do
        targetFile=$(echo "$file" | sed "s/[0-9]\{2\}:[0-9]\{2\}:[0-9]\{2\}/$fileIndex/")
        echo "$targetFile"
        mv "$file" "$targetFile"
    ((fileIndex++))
done

Output:

On my Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon Framework 13:

DuckDuckGo search Bash for loop files with spaces.

The Stack Overflow answer 7039208

Bash script:

fileIndex=0

FILE_EXTENSION=png
ls -1 *.$FILE_EXTENSION | while read file
do
    echo "$file"
    targetFile=$(echo "$file" | sed "s/[0-9]\{2\}\-[0-9]\{2\}\-[0-9]\{2\}\.$FILE_EXTENSION/$fileIndex.$FILE_EXTENSION/")
    #echo "$targetFile"
    mv "$file" "$targetFile"
    ((fileIndex++))
done
