# rename
|

|

|
||||
> For the Perl version, see `file-rename` or `perl-rename`.

|

- Rename files using simple substitutions (substitute 'foo' with 'bar' wherever found):
|
||||
|
||||
`rename {{foo}} {{bar}} {{*}}`
|
||||
|
||||
- Dry-run - display which renames would occur without performing them:
|
||||
|
||||
`rename -vn {{foo}} {{bar}} {{*}}`
|
||||
|
||||
- Do not overwrite existing files:
|
||||
|
||||
`rename -o {{foo}} {{bar}} {{*}}`
|
||||
|
||||
- Change file extensions:
|
||||
|
||||
`rename {{.ext}} {{.bak}} {{*.ext}}`
|
||||
|
||||
- Prepend "foo" to all filenames in the current directory:
|
||||
|
||||
`rename {{''}} {{'foo'}} {{*}}`
|
||||
|
||||
- Rename a group of increasingly numbered files zero-padding the numbers up to 3 digits:
|
||||
|
||||
`rename {{foo}} {{foo00}} {{foo?}} && rename {{foo}} {{foo0}} {{foo??}}`
