repren

Multi-pattern string replacement and file renaming tool.

• Do a dry-run renaming a directory of PNGs with a literal string replacement:

repren --dry-run --rename --literal --from '{find_string}' --to '{replacement_string}' {*.png}

• Do a dry-run renaming a directory of JPEGs with a regular expression:

repren --rename --dry-run --from '{regular_expression}' --to '{replacement_string}' {*.jpg} {*.jpeg}

• Do a find-and-replace on the contents of a directory of CSV files:

repren --from '{([0-9]+) example_string}' --to '{replacement_string \1}' {*.csv}

• Do both a find-and-replace and a rename operation at the same time, using a pattern file:

repren --patterns {path/to/patfile.ext} --full {*.txt}

• Do a case-insensitive rename:

repren --rename --insensitive --patterns {path/to/patfile.ext} *
