Renaming files is a daily activity when data munging. Wei Shen has created a batch renaming tool with these features:
…
- Cross-platform. Supporting Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
- Safe. By checking potential conflicts and errors.
- File filtering. Supporting including and excluding files via regular expression.
No need to run commands likefind ./ -name "*.html" -exec CMD.- Renaming submatch with corresponding value via key-value file.
- Renaming via ascending integer.
- Recursively renaming both files and directories.
- Supporting dry run.
- Colorful output. Screenshots:
…
Binaries are available for Linux, OS X and Windows, both 32 and 64-bit versions.
Linux has a variety of batch file renaming options but I didn’t see any short-comings in brename that jumped out at me.
You?
