wesscoby / file-renamer Goto Github PK

This was inspired by, and is based on a gist by Scriptex, index.js. I have modified it to suit my purpose.
I have been downloading books from Zlibrary and the downloaded files have a naming format:

The Key things i want from this file name string are just the file name and authors(s) And i want to rename each file to:

• Use filePattern to filter for files that need to be renamed
• Use authorPattern to extract Author name(s), and assign to the variable author and remove underscores
• Use bookNamePattern to extract book name and assign to the variable book and remove underscores
• Combine book and author and assign to newName.
• Format: book - @author.extension

• Create a new folder named Files in the root directory and place the files to be renamed in it.
• In the index file, create your pattern (with a rename method)
• There are two ways to use the pattern:
  • First call RenameFiles.usePattern(patternClass). Then RenameFiles.exec()
  • Second, RenameFiles.exec({ usePattern: patternClass })
    NB: RenameFiles.exec() returns a Promise:
    RenameFiles.exec({ usePattern: patternClass }).then( console.log ).catch( console.error );
• Then use either npm start, node index or node . to run.
