Adding simple prefix and suffix to files

mvmv prefix old_ *.txt
mvmv suffix .bak *.txt

Numbering files

You can attach sequence numbers to files with a series of #s. Depending on the number of #s, numbers will be padded with zeros.

mvmv name Photo#### *.jpg *.gif *.png
mvmv name-suffix -## *.jpg

Advanced renaming with regular expressions

regexp command performs regular expression substitutions. (regexpi is the case-insensitive version.) name-regexp command performs regular expression subsitution only on the name parts of the given files.

mvmv name-regexp '^(.*)_-_(.*)$' '\2 - \1' *.mp3
