MultiFileRenamer
This is a small script that I wrote in Python some time ago that renames, moves, or copies multiple files. It can use a regular expressions as part of it renaming function.
This is a very flexible script and as such has a lot of command line arguments. If run with no arguments the following usage will be displayed to the screen.
The CLI arguments have the following significance.
- -D is debug mode
- -N is the NOOP mode
- -R is the rename mode (without this the file will me copied and/or renamed if source and destination directories are different)
- -i is the source path
- -d is the destination path
- -o is the original file name using regular expressions if needed.
- -n is the new file name.
- -s is the start of the original files sequence numbers.
- -e is the end of the original files sequence numbers.
- -r is the new files start sequence number.
Use a //n or /n (if the entire file name is single quoted) to indicate the sequence number.
$ rename.py Usage: /home/cnobile/bin/rename.py -[DNR] -[i Incoming path, d Destination path, o 'File pattern old', n 'File pattern new', s Start sequence, e End sequence, r New sequence start]
Example command line:
$ rename.py -i . -d . -o 'p8220\n\n\n.jpg' -n 'family-\n\n\n.jpg' -s 1 -e 16 -r 1 -R
If you have 16 JPG files with a continuous sequence of numbers from 1 to 16 they will be renamed in the same directory. The above command will rename all the files starting with p8220 to family- plus the sequence number and the .jpg extension.
