seRename 1.00

File rename and management for serious, not novice, users and programmers. Written as a script and compiled! The use of JavaScript/Perl regular expressions for powerful file management are the heart of seRename and set it apart from other renaming utilities. Other operations: change case, use attributes, directory recursion, omit files, pre-testing, etc. Command line or GUI operation. Right click option in Explorer. Interactive control and settings. Set defaults. Comprehensive help file.

seRename is powerful and flexible because it allows the renaming of files by using regular expressions, not just the simple wildcards of an operating system.

There are three guiding principles behind the design of seRename: power, flexibility, and ease of use. The power comes from the use of regular expressions.

Flexibility comes from several things. One, seRename is a Win32 Console program that allows you to take advantage of both DOS and Win32 capabilities at the same time. The sister program seRenWin operates exactly the same as seRename except that it is a Win32 Window program. Second, both versions allow you to use the best of both command line and GUI interfaces. Third, many options allow you to control and fine tune renaming and recasing operations.

Ease of use is related to flexibility. You may choose between a completely command line oriented approach, a GUI oriented approach, or a combination of the two. Optional prompts, confirmations and log files allow you to be certain of your operations.

seRename is written in the ScriptEase JavaScript scripting language. The source code file is installed with the program files so that you may alter seRename for your own use. ScriptEase JavaScript is an easy to use and flexible scripting language that provides much power. ScriptEase scripts may be as simple as a few lines written like a batch file to automate daily tasks to fully structured, object-oriented programming, as is seRename.
