-
Rename files using a Perl Common Regular Expression (substitute 'foo' with 'bar' wherever found):
rename 's/foo/bar/' * -
Dry-run - display which renames would occur without performing them:
rename -n 's/foo/bar/' * -
Force renaming even if the operation would remove existing destination files:
rename -f 's/foo/bar/' * -
Convert filenames to lower case (use `-f` in case-insensitive filesystems to prevent "already exists" errors):
rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' * -
Replace whitespace with underscores:
rename 's/\s+/_/g' *
