multisrc Bulk Rename Your Linux FilesLinux下批量重命名：多源文件一键整理（批量重命名linux）
As Linux system users, we must be familiar with some common commands, such as cp, mv, and so on. Renaming multiple files is relatively troublesome, especially when there are multiple sources, and the files are repeatedly named, which is definitely a special challenge. Fortunately, the Multisrc Bulk Rename tool makes it easy for us to manage multiple source files.
Multisrc Bulk Rename is a simple but powerful batch renaming tool that supports a variety of patterns and flexible expressions. It is convenient and fast to organize the repeated and multiple source files named in Linux. After installing this batch rename tool, open a new terminal window and type the following command:
# multisrc-rename
The above command supports file name and glob expression. The replacement expression allows users to define the new file name according to the original file name. For example, the following command can help to find the file named `random_file001-033.sh` and then give it a new name beginning with the characters of `some-prefix` and a 4 digits-long numbers following, e.g `some-prefix0001.sh`, `some-prefix0002.sh` and so on.
# multisrc-rename random_file001-033.sh"some-prefix[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9].sh”
In addition to the standard mode, the Wildcard mode of Multisrc Bulk Rename is also worthy of recommendation. By specifying several wildcard patters to the command, all files that match the wildcard pattern will be renamed according to the original file name.
For example, it helps to rename all php files in a directory to the unified style `php-123.php` as below:
# multisrc-rename “php-??.php” “.php”
The wildcard search pattern “??.php” searches all files with two characters followed by “.php” and the replacement expression is defined as the original file name. This allows all php files to be renamed to the same style “php-123.php”.
In summary, Multisrc Bulk Rename makes it possible for Linux users to quickly organize and rename multiple source files. If you need to manage the files in Linux system, this tool can make your work faster and more efficient.
