rnm

Bulk Rename Utility. More information: https://github.com/neurobin/rnm.

• Replace a search string with a replacement string in filenames:

rnm -ss {{old}} -rs {{new}} {{path/to/directory}}

• Use a fixed (literal) search and replace string instead of regex:

rnm -ssf {{old}} -rs {{new}} {{path/to/files}}

• Add an auto-incremented index to filenames starting from 1:

rnm -i 1 -inc 1 -rs {{_}} {{path/to/files}}

• Rename files using a list of new names from a text file:

rnm -ns/f {{path/to/names.txt}} {{path/to/files}}

• Rename only files (ignoring directories and links):

rnm -fo -ss {{pattern}} -rs {{replacement}} {{path/to/files}}

• Sort input files by modification time before renaming:

rnm -s/mt -ss {{pattern}} -rs {{replacement}} {{path/to/files}}

• Run a simulation without making actual changes:

rnm -sim -ss {{pattern}} -rs {{replacement}} {{path/to/files}}

• Undo the last renaming operation:

rnm -u
