Description

Users can batch-rename files from the terminal using Perl regular expressions. This is useful for cleaning file names, numbering groups, changing extensions, or applying consistent naming rules across many files.

It directly changes file names, so preview commands and backups matter. Test the expression on a small set first to avoid renaming more files than intended.

How to run
