npm install quokka quokka: An Interactive File Renamer
===================================
quokka is an interactive file renamer, which helps to rename multiple files
in a systematic manner. It provides a set of rules, for example, changing
extensions, inserting a string into file names, replacing a certain sequence
with a new one and so on. You can combine these rules as you want by adding
them into the rule chain. Editing each rule and the rule chain is performed
interactively as you do in a shell prompt. The following, for example, shows
how to rename files' extensions to '.node' using quokka:
> #extension
entering extension'
#extension> change to node
file extensions will change to node'
#extension> preview
files will be renamed as follows when you type done' and rename'
------------------------------------------------------------------
./global.js | ./global.node
./mycolors.js | ./mycolors.node
./validator.js | ./validator.node
./wcwidth.js | ./wcwidth.node
#extension> done
files will be renamed as follows when you type rename'
-------------------------------------------------------
./global.js | ./global.node
./mycolors.js | ./mycolors.node
./validator.js | ./validator.node
./wcwidth.js | ./wcwidth.node
> rename
files are being renamed
----------------------
./global.js | ./global.node [ok]
./mycolors.js | ./mycolors.node [ok]
./validator.js | ./validator.node [ok]
./wcwidth.js | ./wcwidth.node [ok]
4 files successfully renamed
you need to reset' file list and rules after `rename'
> exit
where the '>' indicates a quokka's prompt and '#extension' before it does the
user is editing the '#extension' rule. Typing 'help' shows what commands
quokka accepts in general and in a specific rule mode. (In fact, quokka
displays characters in color for readability; see
http://code.woong.org/quokka/img/sc.png for screenshots.)
Even if its source code contains some stuff realted to MS Windows, it
currently supports and is tested only for UNIX-like environments. For now,
nothing was guranteed for MS Windows.
For the copyright issues, see the accompanying LICENSE file.
Among libraries used, alphanum.js has been modified to meet quokka's needs;
it has been modified to behave in a more similar way to 'ls -v' and to return
the sorted array instead of nothing. If you need to replace that module with,
say, a updated one, it is necessary to apply these changes properly.
