Ever wished there was an easy way to rename files or directories quickly without having to struggle with clunky graphical interfaces? RenameWand can help you with that! RenameWand is a simple command-line utility for renaming files or directories using an intuitive but powerful syntax. Perform string operations (e.g. case conversions, rearrangements of substrings), arithmetic operations (e.g. on the numbers in the file name), insert running counters (e.g. to number files in order of name, size, time), date and time stamps, and many more with ease! RenameWand supports pattern matching using glob patterns and wildcards *, ?, [ ], and { }, as well as the special capturing group construct. RenameWand's pattern matching is backed by Java's Regular Expressions matcher. RenameWand is free software written in Java. It runs on any OS with the Java Runtime Environment (JRE 5.0+). Released under the GNU GPL license (version 2). Please visit http://zachscrivena.tripod.com/renamewand.html for downloads, screenshots, and more information. Examples of usage: 1. Convert the file name, less extension, to initial capital letters, e.g. "foo bar.txt" --> "Foo Bar.txt": java -jar RenameWand.jar "." "." 2. Convert disc and track numbers to a single number, and swap artist name with song title, e.g. "Disc 2 Track 5 - SONG TITLE - ARTIST.mp3" --> "015-Artist-Song Title.mp3": java -jar RenameWand.jar "Disc Track - - .mp3" "--.mp3" 3. Insert the file date, and use a running counter to number files by time, e.g. "SCAN004001.jpg" --> "Document Alpha 20050512 (Page 01 of 42).jpg": java -jar RenameWand.jar "SCAN*.jpg" "Document Alpha (Page of ).jpg"
