ren-regexp
Authored by: forman on Mar 21, '05 08:01:03PM

I have a very advanced perl script which performs a similar function. It allows one to rename files using regular expressions quickly on the command line. It has a flag for testing to see what the effects will be, sanity checking so it doesn't overwrite files, and progressive color highlighting to see what changes are made as each regular expression is applied.

The perlscript, called "ren-regexp", can be downloaded here. There's even an example provided within a fancy mockup of a MacOS Terminal window on the page. ;)

Michael.
