- 1mDESCRIPTION0m
-
- It may happen you need to rename several files at once. If you add a
- suffix or a prefix, the common 'rename' command is enough. But if you
- want to replace a common pattern into a new one (even remove a part of
- the filename), you won't be able to do it easily with just the rename
- command. you can use a shell script, but you may not have all the
- command necessary to do this job.
- Aren replaces the first occurence of 'oldpattern' with 'newpattern' by
- renaming the files.
-
- 1mOPTIONS0m
-
- -i
- Ignore the case of letters in making comparisons. Default is case
- sensitive. Case sensitive may help you to locate accurately the
- beginning of the pattern to replace.
-
- oldpattern
- Original pattern of the filename to replace
-
- newpattern
- pattern replacing the old one.
-
- 1mERRORS0m
-
- If an error occurs, the program doesn't stop and go on processing the
- rest of the files, but a text explaining the problem is printed on the
- standard error output.
-
- 1mEXAMPLE0m

- Renaming all the files "floo#?" into "fluu#?"
-
- Aren oo uu floo#?
