The pupose of this script is to rename files (typically evidences) based on some options provided in the command-line.
For example, file1.txt, file2.txt could turn into E-01_file1.txt, E-02_file2.txt and so on.
See the example options below!
These are the options:
- -p (--prefix): Will be the prefix before the numbers (e.g. 'E-')
- -c (--currhighest): If there are already existing files and you want to start the numbering from a higher number, you write the highest number.
- -v (--verbose): Will give you verbose output in the terminal.
