Batch rename MODIS data?
I have MOD13Q1 NDVI images. Data are named in this format:
MOD13Q1.A2007049.h26v06.006.2015161224938_MODIS_Grid_16DAY_250m_500m_VI.tif
(YYYYDDD) Here 2007 is a year and 049 is day in year.
I have to rename it in this format: (YYYY.MM.DD) 2007.02.18
I am renaming it manually for every single file. How to perform a batch process for renaming all the files?
r modis batch date string

Suppose the following files:
MOD13Q1.A2007049.h26v06.006.2015161224938_MODIS_Grid_16DAY_250m_500m_VI.tif
MOD13Q1.A2007051.h26v06.006.2015161224938_MODIS_Grid_16DAY_250m_500m_VI.tif
and that they are stored in directory C:/modis_files
Run:
setwd('C:\modis_files') #path to folder where MODIS files are.
file.rename(list.files(), paste(as.Date(substr(list.files(),10,16),"%Y%j"),".tif", sep=""))
It will result in:
2007-02-18.tif
2007-02-20.tif
If you want to keep the entire file name, while only replacing the [year + julian days], then Bharadwaj A K's answer is the one.

Nice use of the-

characters when used other than the file extension.

If you were to use R language (open source), this will work.
setwd("C:/modis") #path of modis files
li<-as.data.frame(list.files(pattern = ".tif|.TIF"))
li$nn<-paste0(substr(li[,1],1,9),format(as.Date(substr(li[,1],10,16), "%Y%j"),"%Y.%m.%d"),substr(li[,1],17,75))
for(i in 1:nrow(li)){
file.rename(as.character(li[i,1]),li[i,2])
