REX

Bulk rename files using regex. With a simple command you can replace a pattern in thousands of file names in seconds

Usage

rex -r "\.html$" ".php"

The above will replace all .html extensions with .php

Notes: Backslashes and whitespaces must either be escaped or in quotes.

REX is just 1 binary file so to install it you can just copy it to to /usr/bin/

sudo cp /path/to/rex /usr/bin   # Or anywhere in your PATH

REX is made with Crystal so you are going to need it to build it from source.

Just run:

crystal build rex.cr --release
