rename
Renames multiple files.
- 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 overwrite existing 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' {{\*}}
