#pattern-renamer

##A file renaming program which uses patterns to find the new name

• ##Usage:

   pattern-renamer [folder] -p [pattern] -o [output]
  

• ##Options:

   -p or --pattern [pattern] #The pattern which is used to find the numbers
   -o or --output [output] #The output pattern of the new file
   -c or --copy #Instead of renaming copy the files
  

• ##Pattern variable: pattern variables are used in the -p and -o options, they are fundamentally regular expression abstractions. These can be combined with regular strings and other patterns to create complex patterns
  basically the syntax of the patterns are as follows,

  1. [:identifier:type:length]
  2. [:identifier:type:min:max]
  • The above pattern keywords are described below
    • identifier (optional): This is the name which, is used in the -o parameter to give the output pattern. If the pattern has a identifier
    • type (required): This is the type of the regex to be matched. The types allowed are, "str", "any", "num"
    • length (optional): This is exact size of the string matched
    • min (optional): This is the min size of the string matched
    • max (optional): This is the max size of the string matched

• ##Examples

   pattern-renamer ./ -p [:any]S[:s:num:2]E[:e:num:2][:any] -o S[:s]E[:e] #This will match a file like "showS02E20.mp4" to "S02E20.mp4"
