Installation

cargo install irename

Usage

Examples

Rename a bunch of files

# run renamer on all .txt files in some/dir
irename some/dir/*.txt

Execute in dry-run mode

# run renamer on all .txt files in some/dir and only print generated commands w/o actual renaming
irename --dry-run some/dir/*.txt

Output of dry-run mode can be piped

# generate rename commands and execute them by yourself
irename --dry-run some/dir/*.txt | parallel -n1

If no positional args are provided, the files list is read from stdin

# find files using your favorite tool (e.g. `fd`) and pipe the file list into renamer
fd \.rs | irename

P.S.: The app will exit with an error if there are some conflicting names. It won't destruct your files as GNU rename does
