mved - carefully rename multiple files and directories

Description

mved renames multiple files and directories in a deeply paranoid fashion. At the slightest hint that you are going to destroy your files, it will bail out and tell you why.

mved is freely available under the terms of the GNU General Public License, either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

For more information, read the manual entry in the Documentation section.

Examples

mved =.c~ bak/=.c.bak

    mv a.c~ bak/a.c.bak
    mv b.c~ bak/b.c.bak
    mv c.c~ bak/c.c.bak

mved '*.[ch]' save-=.=

    mv a.c save-a.c
    mv a.h save-a.h
    mv b.c save-b.c
    mv b.h save-b.h

mved save-=.= =.=

    mv save-a.c a.c
    mv save-a.o a.o
    mv save-b.c b.c
    mv save-b.o b.o

mved note= note=.txt

    mv note1 note1.txt
    mv note2 note2.txt
    mv note3 note3.txt

mved '[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]*' 19=5==6=-=3==4=-=1==2==7=
