When you have directory with large number of files and there is a word (or regex) that all names matches, now you want to change the formation of these names, here this program can help you.
- JavaFX Application runs via Java 8 to 10.
- Command Line Application runs via Java 8 and above.
- Rollback any changes after each rename operation.
- Java 8 and above is needed to run.
- I tried to write a cross-platform application so there should be no problem on java supported OSs. But I only tested in Windows 10 1803.
GUI Version: Run Name Reform.jar File. You need JRE or JDK pre-installed.
Console Version: Open CMD or Terminal in jar file directory and execute thi: java -jar Name Reform Console.jar
Here is a simple example: I enter (\d+) - (\w+) as the Target Regex, *2* (*1*) as the Replacement Regex, and PATH/Directory as the path, then run the program. Here is the result:
Every files that matches the first regex (like 313 - HelloWorld) will be renamed to the second regex formation (HelloWorld (313))
If you still do not know how to use the program contact me so that i make a video.
Regex (Regular Expressions) is a word (sequence of characters) which is a pattern to more than one word.
Regex Keyword must follow Java Regex Rules. Here is a short summary of rules.
This field needs a custom Regex (not Java Regex). You need to use groups in Target Regex so that u could use them here. You can call a group like this: *<num>* f.e: *3*
Since Java-FX removed from the newest Java, you may need to run command-line app (Console Version).
