Replacing file and directory names

[sekerez]

I've been using this command for a while now and I love it.

Would you consider adding features to rename files and directories recursively in the same style?

I'm having trouble renaming multiple files/directories in a project according to a regex. Current commands (e.g. rename) are insufficient, as they don't have support for recursive operations.

Not really. Complex filesystem operations like these are very easy to get wrong and I think this is out of scope for ruplacer.

You may find vidir (from the moreutils) package useful.

Or in zsh: ```zmv``` 😁

I have this need as well, so I try to add an additional option --replace-path.

You can try my fork:
