Scripts:GoodRenamer

About

This script will take a goodhave.txt file and directory as input, scan the file renaming all files or *.<ext> which match the NAME.<ext> result to GOODNAME.<ext> when NAME was a partial match for GOODNAME

The script itself is very much in an alpha state, use at your own risk. The script will run over a single directory (it does not recurse directories).

Usage

1. Save the script below to <filename>.py
2. Have a directory of *.ext filenames
3. Have a goodhave.txt file available*
4. Run the script with python <scriptname> <goodhave file> <working path> <file extension>

* If you do not have a goodhave file available, you can redirect the output of the ls command to a file; then use the new file as input.

Batch Example

Linux

To run this script as a batch process you could attach the script to a find command, use at your own risk

find . -type d -exec python <scriptname> <goodhave file> {} <file extension> \;
