ok, maybe i am having a massive brainfart, but i sustain that i used to do my batch renaming with the simple command
| Code: | | rename -s/pattern/newpattern/ * |
this is not the normal rename, but the emerged one. for some reason this doesn't work anymore. i reemerged it, too. no go. bwarg.
help, please, i don't want to learn regex.

Problem is, rename is rename no more. It's called xmrename now, rename is from baselayout and I'm damned if I know what it's good for.
EDIT: OK, had a look at the manpage, now I know and I'm also damned now, I guess. |
