Massrename is a versatile tool that streamlines renaming tasks by facilitating the batch renaming of file extensions.
Massrename is a versatile software utility that allows for batch-renaming of file extensions and strings within the base filename. With this software, you can easily rename file extensions from, for example, "SomeblehFile.mp3" to "SomeblahFile.mp3".
To use massrename, simply enter the command "/usr/bin/massrename [ ARGUMENTS ] ..." along with the desired arguments. Some examples of commands include: "massrename --from mp3 --to ogg" to rename *.mp3 to *.ogg, and "massrename -f ogg -t mp3 -n" to rename *.ogg to *.mp3, without logging.
Massrename offers several operation modifiers that allow for even greater customization. Required arguments include "-f, --from" for specifying the source file extension or string to rename, and "-t, --to" for specifying the output file extension or string to rename to. Optional arguments include "-b, --beginning" to add a string to the beginning of the filename, "-c, --change-dir DIR" to rename files in a different directory, "-d, --dotfiles" to rename hidden files too, "-e, --end" to add a string to the end of the filename, "-h, --help" to display help output, "-i, --ignore-case" to ignore filename's case when searching for files to rename, "-n, --no-logs" to avoid making a log of renamed files, "-p, --perl-rename" to use perl's rename() function instead of the system's "mv" command, "-v, --version" to display version information, and "-w, --within" to search for string within filename instead of extension.
This latest release of massrename includes minor bugfixes and revisions to the README file. Additionally, an optional "--ignore-case" argument has been added for the software to ignore the case of filenames at runtime. Finally, Debian and Red Hat package formats have been added for greater compatibility. Overall, Massrename is a powerful software utility that offers great flexibility and customization for batch-renaming files.
