Linux – How to install regexp enabled ‘rename’ on fedora

fedoralinuxregexshell

I have a batch rename task and I find the 'rename' command in Ubuntu and Fedora is different.

In Ubuntu, rename is written in Perl and has regexp support. Is there anyway to install it on Fedora?

  • The Perl script (by Larry Wall, himself) is called rename.pl

    You will then need to save it in suitable directory. Probably /usr/local/bin/ and make sure it's executable, by typing

    sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/rename.pl
