- Rename files using a Perl Common Regular Expression (substitute 'foo' with 'bar' wherever found):
|
|
|
|
`rename {{'s/foo/bar/'}} {{*}}`
|
|
|
|
- Dry-run - display which renames would occur without performing them:
|
|
|
|
`rename -n {{'s/foo/bar/'}} {{*}}`
|
|
|
|
- Force renaming even if the operation would remove existing destination files:
|
|
|
|
`rename -f {{'s/foo/bar/'}} {{*}}`
|
|
|
|
- Convert filenames to lower case (use `-f` in case-insensitive filesystems to prevent "already exists" errors):
|
|
|
|
`rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' {{*}}`
|
|
|
|
- Replace whitespace with underscores:
|
|
|
|
`rename 's/\s+/_/g' {{*}}`
