''' Batch rename files by providing a string to be `eval`ed, using variable `x` as the current filename. Yes I know this is weird, but for certain tasks it's just too quick and easy to pass up. For example: Prefix all the files: brename.py "'Test_' + x" Keep the first word and extension: brename.py "(x.split(' ')[0] + '.' + x.split('.')[-1]) if ' ' in x else x" ''' import argparse import os import random import re import sys import unicodedata from voussoirkit import betterhelp from voussoirkit import interactive from voussoirkit import pathclass from voussoirkit import safeprint from voussoirkit import spinal from voussoirkit import stringtools # These constants are provided for use in your eval string cwd = pathclass.cwd() # These variables are provided so that if you have any difficulty typing # literal quotes etc into your command line, you can just use these variable # names in your eval string. apostrophe = "'" dot = '.' hyphen = '-' quote = '"' space = ' ' underscore = '_' # For backwards compatibility, these names which were once locally defined # functions are now just references to stringtools. excise = stringtools.excise title = stringtools.title_capitalize def natural_sorter(x): ''' Thank you Mark Byers http://stackoverflow.com/a/11150413 ''' convert = lambda text: int(text) if text.isdigit() else text.lower() alphanum_key = lambda key: [convert(c) for c in re.split(r'([0-9]+)', key)] return alphanum_key(x) def unicode_normalize(s): return unicodedata.normalize('NFC', s) def brename(transformation, autoyes=False, do_naturalsort=False, recurse=False): if recurse: walker = spinal.walk_generator('.', yield_files=True, yield_directories=True) olds = list(walker) else: olds = cwd.listdir() if do_naturalsort: olds.sort(key=lambda x: natural_sorter(x.absolute_path)) else: olds.sort() pairs = [] for (index, old) in enumerate(olds): # These variables are assigned so that you can use them in your # transformation string. x = old.basename parent = old.parent noext = old.replace_extension('').basename ext = old.extension.ext index1 = index + 1 new = eval(transformation) new = parent.with_child(new) if new.basename == old.basename: continue pairs.append((old, new)) if not pairs: print('Nothing to replace') return loop(pairs, dry=True) if not (autoyes or interactive.getpermission('Is this correct?')): return # Sort in reverse so that renaming a file inside a directory always # occurs before renaming the directory itself.

The name of the file or folder will be in the variable `x`. In addition, many other variables are provided for your convenience: `quote` ("), `apostrophe` (') so you don't have to escape command quotes. `hyphen` (-) because leading hyphens often cause problems with argparse. `stringtools` entire stringtools module. See voussoirkit/stringtools.py. `space` ( ), `dot` (.), `underscore` (_) so you don't have to add quotes to your command while using these common characters. `index` the file's index within the loop. `index1` the file's index+1, in case you want your names to start from 1. `parent` a pathclass.Path object for the directory containing the file. `cwd` a pathclass.Path object for the cwd of this program session. `noext` the name of the file, but without its extension. `ext` the file's extension, with no dot. -y | --yes: Accept the results without confirming. --recurse: Recurse into subfolders and rename those files too. --naturalsort: Before renaming, the files will be sorted using natural sort instead of the default lexicographic sort. Natural sort means that "My file 20" will come before "My file 100" because 20<100. Lexicographic sort means 100 will come first because 1 is before 2. The purpose of this flag is so your index and index1 variables are applied in the order you desire.
