Renaming

• the ls object, aka get-child-item will collect all Dir Data
  • you can use -rec to recurse
  • -filter and -exclude can be used to limit to certain files
• the rni object, aka Rename-Item does the renaming
  • the -passthru option shows the results while processing
  • the -whatif options only shows what it would do

Replace html enconding

ls | rni -new {$_.name.replace("%20"," ")} -whatif -passthru

Recursive renaming, of only FILES

ls -rec -filter *.md5 -exclude md5sum*.md5 | ? {$_ -is [io.fileinfo]} | rni -new {$_.name.replace(".md5",".iso.md5")} -whatif -passthru
