padding

#padding

padding is a tiny node.js module for zero padding

 

- rename files with zero padding automatically
- zero configuration
- by zero padding, you get files whose name have same length
- you can use this as both cli tool and in your code
- dotfiles (like .DS_Store) are not supported currently

##Example

###files without any prefix

``bash
➜ example1 ✗ ls -1
1.jpg
10.jpg
101.jpg
2.jpg
209.jpg
77.jpg

➜ example1 ✗ padding
add padding

➜ example1 ✗ ls -1
001.jpg
002.jpg
010.jpg
077.jpg
101.jpg
209.jpg
`

- simple exmaple
- In this example, the longest file name is 101.jpg or 209.jpg.
- So padding changes all target files to have same length (7characters).


###files which have common prefix

`bash
➜ example2 ✗ ls -1
sample1.jpg
sample10.jpg
sample101.jpg
sample2.jpg
sample209.jpg
sample77.jpg
➜ example2 ✗ padding
add padding
➜ example2 ✗ ls -1
sample001.jpg
sample002.jpg
sample010.jpg
sample077.jpg
sample101.jpg
sample209.jpg
`

- sample is prefix in this example
- padding works well with prefix


##Installation
