batchUnE

batchUnE is a command-line utility designed for efficient file management, specifically for the renaming of multiple files within a directory. Its primary function is to allow users to perform bulk renaming operations with a degree of flexibility through the use of regular expressions. The tool supports a variety of renaming patterns, including appending text, prepending text, replacing substrings, and changing file extensions.

The utility operates by taking a set of files as input, often specified using wildcard patterns, and then applying a user-defined renaming rule. This rule can involve simple text substitutions or more complex pattern matching and replacement using regular expressions. batchUnE aims to streamline repetitive file renaming tasks that would otherwise require manual intervention or scripting.

Key features of batchUnE include support for case-sensitive and case-insensitive renaming, the ability to preview changes before committing them, and options to handle potential naming conflicts. It is typically used by system administrators, developers, and users who frequently work with large numbers of files and need to organize them systematically. The tool is often invoked from a terminal or command prompt, making it accessible for automated workflows and batch processing. Its design prioritizes speed and accuracy in handling bulk file operations.
