The bulk file-renamer.
Yes, files from directories are added recursively. Yes, all files from all contained directories of the dropped sources. No Patrick, Mayonnaise is not an instrument.
Download the latest Bulker-VERSION-all.jar version from: https://github.com/Griefed/Bulker/releases/latest
- Run the app using Java 21,
java -jar Bulker-<VERSION>-all.jarwhere<VERSION>is the version you downloaded - Drag-and-drop files and/or directories into the field on the left. All files from directories are added recursively.
- Enter the search-text into
Search Forin the top left. - Enter the replacement-text into
Replace Within the top right. - Hit the
Run Bulk-Rename-button to rename all files which have your search-text in their name.
Include Mask and Exclude Mask are Optional. They are Regexpressions you can use to further fine-trim your renaming and can be left empty.
You can run Bulker from the commandline, too.
There's three arguments you must use:
--search--replace--input--include-mask(Optional)--exclude-mask(Optional)
--search is the text you want to look for in filenames. The equivalent to Search For in the GUI. Only a single --search when running in CLI.
--replace is the text you want to replace the searched text with. The equivalent to Replace With in the GUI. Only a single --replace when running in CLI.
--input must be the path to a file or directory. Directories are checked recursively. You may specify as many --input as you like.
--include-mask is an optional Regex which acts as an additional filter for file to INCLUDE. If this Regex matches a file, it will be included in the rename-process. If you don't want to use it, ignore this argument.
--exclude-mask is an optional Regex which acts as an additional filter for files to EXCLUDE. If this Regex matches a file, it will be excluded from the rename-process. If you don't want to use it, ignore this argument.
Example output for some Minecraft-files:
java -jar .\Bulker-1.2.0-all.jar --search "g" --replace "###" --input "E:\Temp"
That would rename all files in the Temp-dir which contain the letter g
Renamed the following files:
E:\Temp\Yggdytha\fundamentals\a###ricultureresidence1.blueprint
E:\Temp\Yggdytha\fundamentals\a###ricultureresidence2.blueprint
E:\Temp\Yggdytha\fundamentals\a###ricultureresidence3.blueprint
E:\Temp\Yggdytha\fundamentals\a###ricultureresidence4.blueprint
E:\Temp\Yggdytha\fundamentals\a###ricultureresidence5.blueprint
E:\Temp\Yggdytha\y######dytha.pn###
