Decompressing and Renaming Tiff images

I've been messing around with OCR for a possible new project. To train Tesseract, I had to decompress and rename a bunch of .tif files. Rather than deal with Photoshop, I decided to hack a little bash script using tiffcp. This also gave me a chance to play with the regex powers of Bash.

#!/bin/bash
for fname in *.g4.tif
do

if [[ $fname =~ (.*)\.g4\.tif ]]
then

tiffcp -c none $fname ${BASH_REMATCH[1]}'.tif'

else

echo "foo"

fi

done
