- Do a dry-run renaming a folder 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 folder 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 folder 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}} *`
