Mvb is a file-renaming tool designed for BSD and Linux users, allowing them to quickly rename multiple files via a shell script.
Mvb is an efficient shell script that was specially created for BSD and Linux users who need to batch rename files in their current working directory. With this handy script, you can easily and quickly change the name of multiple files at once, saving you valuable time and effort. Mvb is designed to be used from the command line of your current shell, and it invokes the Bourne shell (sh) by default. However, if you prefer to use the BASH shell instead, you can easily edit the first line of the script to make the change.
This software is ideal for users who have directories of images or other files that are related by theme. The installation process for mvb is quite simple, and it involves un-gzipping and untarring mvb.tgz. Once you have done that, you can change to the mvb directory and copy mvb to one of the directories of executable files listed in your $PATH variable. You can then change the script's permissions so that it is executable, and you are ready to use mvb.
When using mvb, you will need to change to the directory whose files you want to rename and type the command "mvb" followed by any options you want to specify, and then the new name you would like the files in that directory to have. After that, just follow the prompts as necessary. You can always refer to the built-in help file to learn more about how the script works and how to customize its behavior.
If you don't want mvb to change the permissions for each file in the directory, you can simply add an initial # to comment out the command that reads "chmod 664" near the end of the script. You can also change the permissions indicated in that command to whatever you prefer by referring to the man page for chmod.
Finally, if sh is not located in /bin/sh on your computer, or if you would like to use BASH instead, you can easily edit the path on the first line of the script to point to the location on your computer of either shell. This way, you can customize the behavior of the script to suit your needs. Overall, mvb is an excellent software utility that can save you a lot of time and effort when dealing with large numbers of files in your current working directory.
