''' 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 os import random import re import sys from voussoirkit import safeprint def brename(transformation, autoyes=False): old = os.listdir() new = [eval(transformation) for x in old] pairs = [] for (x, y) in zip(old, new): if x == y: continue pairs.append((x, y)) if not loop(pairs, dry=True): print('Nothing to replace') return ok = autoyes if not ok: print('Is this correct? y/n') ok = input('>').lower() in ('y', 'yes', 'yeehaw') if ok: loop(pairs, dry=False) def excise(s, mark_left, mark_right): ''' Remove the text between the left and right landmarks, inclusive, returning the rest of the text. excise('What a wonderful day [soundtrack].mp3', ' [', ']') -> returns 'What a wonderful day.mp3' ''' return s.split(mark_left)[0] + s.split(mark_right)[-1] def longest_length(li): longest = 0 for item in li: longest = max(longest, len(item)) return longest def loop(pairs, dry=False): has_content = False for (x, y) in pairs: if dry: line = '{old}\n{new}\n' line = line.format(old=x, new=y) #print(line.encode('utf-8')) safeprint.safeprint(line) has_content = True else: os.rename(x, y) return has_content def title(text): (text, extension) = os.path.splitext(text) text = text.title() if ' ' in text: (first, rest) = text.split(' ', 1) else: (first, rest) = (text, '') rest = ' %s ' % rest for article in ['The', 'A', 'An', 'At', 'To', 'In', 'Of', 'From', 'And']: article = ' %s ' % article rest = rest.replace(article, article.lower()) rest = rest.strip() if rest != '': rest = ' ' + rest text = first + rest + extension return text import argparse import sys def brename_argparse(args): brename(args.transformation) def main(argv): parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description=__doc__) parser.add_argument('transformation', help='python command using x as variable name') parser.set_defaults(func=brename_argparse) args = parser.parse_args(argv) args.func(args) if __name__ == '__main__': raise SystemExit(main(sys.argv[1:]))
